ï· Rabies: This is a possible cause of ataxia in endemic areas and is contracted via a bite from a rabid animal such as a fox, bat, skunk, raccoon or dog. The rabies virus enters the nervous system at the level of the bite, and may cause changes in mentation and/or ataxia depending on the location of the bite. There is no treatment for rabies once signs appear, but there is a good vaccine available. The vaccination is recommended for horses that live in endemic areas.
These are the signs of tetanus. Tetanus injection is necessary after a dog bite because the dog may be a carrier of the tetanus bacteria. Similar to rabies, these particular bacteria can also be transmitted through the dogâs saliva. If the dog bite victim did not have tetanus shots, infection will set in after the bacterium has entered the body. Again, similar to rabies, tetanus incidents can be prevented with vaccination of tetanus toxoid. However not all dog bite victims would need a tetanus shot.
