It is not known what makes horses more susceptible to Tetanus.
Horses are one of the most susceptible species to the bacterial toxins that cause Tetanus. They also are accident prone and shed the bacteria that cause Tetanus in their feces, which means that the opportunities to contract Tetanus are more frequent with horses.
Tetanus is caused by infections in cuts and not only horses can get it but all animals, including people. You can buy tetanus shots, a lot like worming pastes but it prevents and helps treat tetanus. Consult your local equine vet for more information.
The CDC has issued standard recommendations for the anti tetanus vaccine. keep in mind there is a difference between the vaccine (TD) and the immunoglobulin (TIG). If the individual has had 3 or more vaccinations in the past, then you would give the vaccination only if they had not received their last vaccination within the past 10 years (for non tetanus prone wounds) or 5 years (for tetanus prone wounds. he immunoglobulin (TIG) is given only to individuals with tetanus prone wounds who have had less than 3 previous vaccinations (or unknown status). Hope this helps. Shaun Cole
Not exactly tender, but because the bones, tendons, and ligameents are still growing, that makes the legs weaker, and more prone to injury.
It makes the body more prone to injuries
No, cremello horses do not have dark skin. They typically have pink skin, which is more prone to sunburn compared to horses with darker skin.
Horses can become hyper due to a variety of reasons, such as excessive energy, excitement, fear, or stress. Some horses may be naturally more high-strung or prone to nervousness, leading to hyperactive behavior. Proper training, exercise, and mental stimulation can help manage hyperactivity in horses.
Yes, but many horses are vaccinated against it. Horses are actually more prone to tetanus than most other animals! It is caused by a toxin which is released from the bacteria called Clostridium tetani. This bacteria is found in the intestinal tract of horses and therefore is passed through the feces. This means that spores of the bacteria is present in the soil IN ANY AREA WHERE HORSES ARE. Even small cuts on your horse can be easily infected with tetanus and the mortality rate has been reported as high as 50 percent! (I have also seen estimated death rates of 75 to 80 percent!) It is EXTREMELY important to keep your horse(s) vaccinated against tetanus. Since it is a very quick shot and extremely inexpensive, (normally around $15 dollars) it is well worth every penny. A lot of vets will let you buy the vaccine and give the shot yourself, (if you are comfortable with giving injections), which will save you even more money on the vet making a house call. **ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: If your unvaccinated horse gets a cut that heals up and shows no signs of tetanus, don't be fooled. Tetanus can lie dormant in a horse's system for as long as six months before they show any signs of having contracted the disease. Because of this, the only way to ensure your horse doesn't get tetanus is to stop it from happening in the first place. Waiting until they get a wound may be too late. Please protect your horses and keep them on a schedule of REGULAR tetanus vaccinations! === === Tetanus does not come from rusty nails, staples, or metal items. As the above author states, it runs in the GI tract and is thus apparent in feces. The "nail" simply cuts the foot and allows entrance to the bacteria.
Modern domesticated horses are more prone to parasites due to limited turnout areas, which mean that they come in closer contact with the parasites than do wild horses which can roam wide distances and stay clear of parasite infested manure. Also the use of Anthelimentics (deworming drugs) have increased parasite resistance to the drugs and then the horse cannot get rid of them through deworming.

The dough is sticky because it contains a higher amount of moisture, which makes it more adhesive and prone to sticking to surfaces.
Dude this queston makes no sence and u might whant to clear it up a little more
