Quittor

When dealing with sinuous wounds of the foot, another favourite mode of applying dressings is by means of the syringe, and no better instrument for all cases can be found than that known as a quittor syringe (Fig. 56). ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

For convenience of consideration quittors may be divided into four classes, as suggested by Girard: (1) Cutaneous quittor, which is known also as simple quittor, skin quittor, and carbuncle of the coronet; (2) tendinous quittor; (3) subhorny quittor; and (4) cartilaginous quittor. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)

In all probability it is the condition generally understood when the word 'quittor' is used by one practitioner to the other. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

We believe that -- in this country, at any rate -- the word 'quittor' is usually held to indicate one or other of the two latter conditions, and probably the last of these; and that the two first are held of small account, or hardly of sufficient gravity to allow of the word 'quittor' being applied to them. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

Unequal distribution of weight, the result of unskilled shoeing, or any other condition that may cause the foot to become unbalanced, using the foot rasp too freely, and such diseases as quittor, corns and contracted quarters subject the animal to this form of unsoundness. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

Later, the abscess -- for abscess it is -- discharges its contents, the opening is explored, and we find that in extent it is not confined to the coronary region, but that it is deep enough to constitute a true sub-horny quittor. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

-- In the case of simple or cutaneous quittor, no alteration in the shoeing is necessary. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

As a result of this, we may have the starting-point of suppurating corn, or necrosis of the lateral cartilage -- in other words, cartilaginous quittor. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

-- This form of quittor has its origin more often than not in contusions, punctures, or wounds of the region severe enough to cause death of a small portion of the tissues. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

-- This is employed in the treatment of sub-horny quittor, either in the solid form (in sticks, in lumps, or in the powder), or in the liquid form, when it is injected with a quittor syringe. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

It may occur as a sequel either of cutaneous or of sub-horny quittor, and may result either from actual wounding and infection of the cartilage, or from an attack on it of septic matter originating elsewhere. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

The formation of the abscess, the after-discharge of its contents, and the final establishing of a fistula, are processes greatly prolonged in this form of quittor. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

This, unless met with surgical interference, is sufficient to maintain the wound in a septic condition; it takes on a fistulous character, and a quittor is formed. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)

In our opinion, therefore, a lengthy classification serves no useful end, and we think matters will be simplified by considering quittor under two headings only -- namely, 'Simple or Cutaneous' and 'Sub-horny,' and discussing the other varieties as simply complications of either of these two. ❋ Harry Caulton Reeks (N/A)
