From Wound To Rigidity: Understanding Tetanus in Dogs

The clinical progression of tetanus in dogs is often unpredictable, and these cases can feel overwhelming and challenging at the outset. In this webinar, Victoria (Neurologist) and Hannah (Neurology Nurse) will provide a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for the stabilisation and management of tetanus in dogs, specifically tailored to the resources of a primary care setting. We will cover: Pathogenesis of tetanus Triaging the patient Rationale for medications used The critical role of veterinary nursing and supportive care At the end of the webinar, we expect that you will have a clearer understanding of how to maximise in-house resources to treat milder cases of tetanus successfully and how to stabilise and identify high-risk patients that require specialist intervention.
