Among horses it is the agent in the production of necrotic malanders, quittor, and diphtheritic inflammation of the large intestine.

This form of quittor differs from the cutaneous in that it not only affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues, but involves also the tendons of the leg, the ligaments of the joints, and, in many cases, the bones of the foot as well.

Causes.—Tendinous quittor is caused by the same injuries and influences that produce the simple form.

In my own experience I have seen nothing to verify this belief, but I am convinced that young animals are more liable to have tendinous quittor than older ones, and that they are much more likely to make a good recovery.

Still, cases occur in which there appears to be no existing cause, just as in the other forms of quittor, and it seems fair to conclude that subhorny quittor may also be produced by internal causes.
