Just wanted to update everyone on some more info that I have learned about tetanus. Since I am now the proud owner of a FEW goats-
( I got another one to be a playmate for my bottle baby), I went ahead and purchased a few veterinary textbooks for future reference. The first one came today and I immediately read up on tetanus. According to Mosby's Large Animal Internal Medicine- tetanus toxoid SHOULD be administered as well as the anti-toxin. These should be administered at different times and in different locations. I wanted to share with everyone. According to this reference, my vet DID do the right thing. I think I will keep him. As far as the magnetic therapy- I'm actually for any type of holistic therapy when it is coupled with medical treatment. It can't hurt, and given the state she wa in- anything that might have helped alleviate her suffering was worth it, to me. According to Mosby's, a tranquilizer should also be administered to help alleviate spasms. After reading, I feel alot better knowing she was treated correctly. Just wanted to pass along the info should anyone ever have tetanus in their goats.
