RE: [RC] Pony death, question for vets or others who've experienced same - Von Simson, Cristiano
The symptoms, as described, don’t
sound like tetanus.
Horses with tetanus will assume a very
stiff stance(like a wooden horse), with all muscles tightly contracted, ears pointing
up, sometimes even touching each other. They will react to any stimuli (light,
noise, touch, etc.) with stronger muscle contraction and stiffer position.

Was tetanus the culprit here? Muffin went
so quickly from the time of her first stumble, just about 3 hours.
