Tetanus Shot for Newborn Foal Equine-Reproduction.com Bulletin Board » Pregnant Mare and the Newborn Foal - Volume 1 » Tetanus Shot for Newborn Foal « Previous Next » Author Message   amy Posted on Tuesday, October 17, 2000 - 06:06 am:        i have always heard that when you get a tetanus shot for a newborn foal that you should give the anatoxin form and not the toxoid form. is this correct because the guy at the barn where i board gave their newborn a toxoid tetanus. will this hurt him? what do i need to watch the foal for if anything. help me out here, please?   Jos Posted on Tuesday, October 17, 2000 - 07:38 am:        It is more normal to give tetanus antitoxin to a foal, and if the mare was innoculated within the last 4 to 6 weeks of pregnancy, the foal will already have some immunity anyway. It is probable that the use of tetanus toxoid will not cause a problem, but the foal should be monitored for any signs of high fever, stopping of eating, or depression, and if it occurs, give your veterinarian a call.   Debbie Matusek (63.172.136.217) Posted on Wednesday, April 10, 2002 - 10:40 pm:        how much tetanus antitoxin do you administer to a new born foal?
