Summary: In "Hippopathology: A Ren Systematic Treatise on the Disorders and Lamenesses of the Horse," William Percivall discusses diseases of the brain and nerves in horses, such as concussion, encephalitis, and paralysis. He explores the limited intellectual faculties of horses due to the small size of their brain and argues against the existence of insanity in animals. Percivall delves into the anatomy, pathology, and treatment of brain-related conditions in horses, emphasizing the importance of understanding the brain's functions and responses to injuries. He also touches on the contagious nature of certain equine diseases like glanders and farcy, highlighting the role of stabling and ventilation in disease transmission. Percivall's case studies and observations shed light on the complexities of horse health management and veterinary practice.
