Tetanus in a Cat

Abstract

In a female cat one year of age with spasms in all hands and legs and opisthotonus, tetanus was diagnosed both symptomatologically and immunologically. The cat was administered intramuscularly with procaine penicillin G and kanamycin, orally or intramuscularly with chlorpromazine, and intravenously with ringer's solution. The spastic symptom decreased gradually between 6th and 17th day and disappeared on the 45th day.
