Tetanus is a disease caused by a bacteria (Clostidium tetani) which is found in the soil. The bacteria enter the body through wounds, with punctures of the sole being a common route of infection. The bacteria then cause disease by producing toxins that affect the nervous system.
Tetanus is not contagious and therefore cannot be passed from one horse to another.
Signs of equine tetanus include:
Muscle stiffness resulting in a ‘rocking horse’ stance and ‘lock-jaw’
Difficulty moving and eating
Protrusion of the third eyelid
Seizures
Horses with a tetanus infection become seriously ill very quickly and in many cases the disease is fatal despite all attempts at treatment.
