Abstract:
A calf with the history of limb stiffness an inability to stand was presented in the TVCC, DSVCKV, Anjora, Durg. Tetanus was determined to be the cause of the calf's symptoms, which included a high fever, muscle twitching, and stiffness that spread from the legs to the entire body. High doses of long acting Benzathine penicillin G 6A, anti-tetanus serum (1500 IU), triflupromazine, meloxicam, fluids, and electrolyte therapy were administered to the calf during treatment. After receiving medication for a week, the calf entirely recovered.
