YOU AND YOUR PET TetanuH - \ Pain In The Neck For Horse *nd Rider There is nothing so discouraging to the horse owner as not being able to ride Yet many riders sacrifice days and weeks of riding time by- letting minor horse injuries Hoy#jnn into major medics! problems One horrible result of an outwardly insignificant punc­ ture wound in a horse can be the animal s death from tetanus Puncture wounds are narrow but deep injuries where the skin heals quickly, trapping debris and tetanus bacteria inside Discarded bailing wire and splintered stall sides con­ taminated with dirt or other foreign material are only two of the causes of this type of injury Such wounds, properly treated, pose little danger to a horse Tetanus bacteria are unable to grow in healthy tissue, a disinfected wound or an open cut exposed to the air A neglected injury, however, containing debris and dead or damaged tissue, is the ideal location Tetanus may develop if sanitary conditions are not maintained during surgical procedures such as gelding Once the bacteria are sealed into a wound, they multiply rapidly, producing a toxic substance with a strong affinity for nervous tissue This toxin travels toward the spinal cord, producing muscle stiffness near the infected wound As the stiffness spreads, the horse finds walking, turning and backing difficult, its tail becomes stiff and extended The muscles of the neck and jaw may also be affected, which has led to the use of the term lockjaw Muscle stiffness is generally the first sign of trouble the horse owner sees The original injury probably healed days before, if it were noticed at all As the disease progresses, the horse s nervous system is easily over stimulated The classic test for tetanus -a sudden, loud noise-will cause muscle spasms over the horse s body If you suspect your horse has tetanus, have it examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible Treatment includes an injection of tetanus an titoxin. possibly supplemented with tranquilizers to reduce nervous strain. Your part will be to provide good nursing care and a quiet darkened stall The horse will be unable to lower its head to eat or drink, you must raise the food and water buckets up to the horse s level If the animal survives the in- fection -frankly very few do it will probably require several weeks of intensive therapy with good care and nursing The tetanus bacteria is found worldwide, particularly in soil contaminated with the feces of domestic animals Pr.ompt removal of scrap metal and other trash from the barn and DIAL AX PRAYEI By Robert L Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories pasture will reduce the number of injuries that give tetanus its start Be certain to ask your veterinarian about permanent immunity for your horse in the form of an injection of tetanus toxoid plus a yearly booster shot I)r Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters . from pet owners He suggests that readers consult their .own veterinarians when their pets have problems Not So Fast First SP-Did you get that guy's license number? Second SP--No. He was go­ ing too fast. First SP--That blue-eyed blonde he had in the front seat with him sure was a pretty dish. Second SP--You can say that again.

The deadline had been set at June 30 Why are the first drops of thunder showers the biggest ones? Are the first drops usually those which turn into hail? In summer daysT" when thunderstorms produce show­ ers every day or so. careful observance will prove that the first drops of a thunder shower are definitely the largest ones. That's true because only the largest drops fall through the updraft which comes with the leading edge of a thunder-, head.. That updraft (which turns into a downdraft at the end of the thunderhead) carries many drops up-again, and if strong -enough, will carry them to high altitude and free^ them, producing hail. So the first Wops from a thunderhead are- widely scat­ tered, usually, only the heav­ iest falling through the up- drafts, and other ones that sometimes become hail. To see how many times a drop of water has been carried aloft and frozen (which determines the size of hail), cut a hailstone with a sharp knife and count the layers.
