Tetanus in Dogs and Cats: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Tetanus is a specific infection caused by Clostridium tetani entering through skin or mucosal wounds, multiplying in low-oxygen conditions, and producing a toxin that causes muscle spasms. Because dogs and cats resist the toxin relatively well, localized tetanus is more common, showing rigidity and spasms in the limb near the wound.
