What is the symptoms of tetanus?

Answer 1

usually presents with a descending pattern. The first sign is trismus, or lockjaw, and the facial spasms called risus sardonicus, followed by stiffness of the neck, difficulty in swallowing, and rigidity of pectoral and calf muscles. Other symptoms include elevated temperature, sweating, elevated blood pressure, and episodic rapid heart rate. Spasms may occur frequently and last for several minutes with the body shaped into a characteristic form called opisthotonos. Spasms continue for 3-4 weeks, and complete recovery may take months.

Answer 2

Common signs of tetanus in horses are having the third eyelid (nictitating membrane) stuck partially covering the eye especially as a response to loud sounds, an odd facial expression as though he is anxious due to facial muscle spasm, stiff gait, difficulty moving and eating. Symptoms can progress to collapse, extensive muscle spasms and death.

if you feel you may have tetanus, contact your doctor immediately to see what to do about the infection.
