Horses are very susceptible to tetanus, which is caused by a ubiquitous environmental bacteria called Clostridium tetani. Tetanus develops when a horse (or any mammal, including a human) gets a deep puncture wound from an unclean surface - the classic example is stepping on a rusty nail. The bacteria only live in anaerobic conditions, so the wound has to be deep and thin enough that the surface seals over and keep atmospheric air out. If a horse becomes sick with tetanus, it is very rare for the horse to survive.
The good news is the vaccine is very effective, widely available and has minimal short or long term side effects. The tetanus vaccine is usually made available as a combination vaccine with several other diseases.
Immunity to what ever you wish to vaccinate
On average, it is estimated that around 100 horses are struck by lightning each year in the United States. The exact number can vary based on geographic location, weather patterns, and the presence of horses in open areas during storms. Lightning strikes can be fatal or cause serious injuries, highlighting the importance of seeking shelter for horses during thunderstorms.
A tetanus shot is typically administered in the upper arm muscle, also known as the deltoid muscle.
John Snow did not invent the cholera vaccine; he was a pioneer in epidemiology and is best known for his work in identifying the source of a cholera outbreak in London in 1854 by linking it to contaminated water from a public pump on Broad Street. His findings helped establish the importance of clean water in preventing disease transmission.
No.... albino horses have no pigmentation at all, and this often makes their eyes red, and they are normally white. Cremello horses are like more a creamy colour, and have blue eyes( generally) There has never been a verified albino horse. The gene is though to not exist in horses.
The tetnus bacteria is in their manure so they are exposed much of the time. It is essential that the horse is kept current on his vaccinations. Manure must be cleaned daily and put in a place away from the horse.
