Description

Tetanus is a neurological condition caused by a bacterium, Clostridium Tetani. Definitive diagnosis is difficult, but due to the common clinical signs including muscle spasms, ocular and facial changes, presumptive diagnosis can be made and treatment started. Patients need intensive nursing care and are often critical as the disease progresses in hospital. In this webinar, we will look at how tetanus is contracted, the common clinical presentation of the tetanic patient and the treatment they require. This is a challenging condition to treat but is often extremely rewarding for the veterinary team.
