Subject: RE: Tetanus


Penicillin has worked for me if I catch it while they are still walking, The key is early treatment, personally I would guess this guy probably will have to be put down. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Best thing to do is watch carefully everyday for anymore walking stiff legged and treat them early as possible with Penicillin for a week. edit also tetanus anti toxin

They need to being given tetanus anti toxin at banding and any showing signs of tetanus should be given the anti toxin along with the penicillin. Giving a tetanus vaccine the day they are banded is not going to help much if at all. Takes it to long to develop immunity even if they have already had 1 shot before its only partial protection at best. Any vet will tell you that.
