Tetanus is one of the oldest recorded diseases in horses and horses are one of the most sensitive animals to this disease. Excellent vaccines have made this disease rare but it is important to note that the rate of exposure to the disease is high despite vaccination. Vaccination is as important as ever and treatment for tetanus continues to evolve. This article discusses how horses get tetanus, symptoms, treatment, and prevention and has a greatly expanded section including the most recent concepts on treatment. Access the article by selecting >> Tetanus >> off the navigation bar above.
