  23. What are side bones • Calcified hoof cartilage • Common in older horses

  24. How do you treat coffin bone fractures • Corrective shoeing to prevent the hoof mechanism

  25. How is hoof mechanism prevented • Place some nails caudal to the widest part of the hoof • Use full bar shoes

  26. What type of shoeing will help treat navicular disease • Shoe with elevated heals

  27. What is a kimsey splint • Used for SDF, DDF and suspensory ligament rupture

  28. What is the most common cause of lameness in the horse • Solar abscess

  29. What are the CS of a solar abscess • Lameness • Thumping digital pulse • Draining tract at coronary band • Swelling

  30. How do you diagnose solar abscesses • Hoof testers • Sterile probe in draining tract • Rads (fistulography)

  31. What is the tx for solar abscesses • Establish drainage • Tetanus toxoid/antitoxin • Antiseptic solution • Bandage
