Re: [RC] Cold Mountain Lameness Remedy - Susan Garlinghouse, DVMHoward, i mentioned that i was going to read Cold >Mountain and i did and enjoyed it a lot. In it there is >the strangest recipe for lameness i ever heard that some >Gypsies did.."A woman snubbed a big bay up to a >birch trunk and then twitched it and poured lamp oil on >the frog of its hoof and lit fire to it to curb a tendency to >lameness." Thats a new one to me and i just wonder >what AERC or the Vets would think of that? tom sites Aside from "felony"? I heard once about a racetrack practice where they sedated a horse and used an electric skillet to heat the bottom of the foot to supposedly deaden the foot to pain. Of course, I also heard the foot later fell off. Maybe this is a gypsie's answer to not having an electric skillet handy.
