Hiii my dog is 2 yrs old and he was playing with hair clipper and broke it while chewing. Since clipper has metal inside it should I be worried about tetanus??

Hello Jaya. Any visible wound on the surface of the body ? Tetanus is caused by a bacteria called Clostridium tetani, which is commonly present in soil and gets into the body through deep open wounds. Its a myth that tetanus is transmitted through any sort of metals, especially the rusted ones. If one gets a wound through a sharp metal and comes in contact with the bacteria present in soil, can get a disease. Horses & humans are more sensitive although dogs & cats are relatively more resistant to tetanus

Adoption apppeal for Sydney is charming, gentle, sensitive girl who is happy to sit quietly with you, play around with other dogs or even play on her own! She loves to eat rice, pumpkin, egg, banana, coconut and would be more than happy to explore other fruits/vege/non-veg. She is dewormed and vaccinated, poty trained (you may take her for walks after food). She has recently learnt 'sit and go' command, so feel free to train her on other basic commands as she is a quick learner. Since she has stayed with her sibling till now, she will need a little time to get used to being alone but again she will learn this very quickly. She has recently learnt to do small barks on strangers, unknown dogs so is a cute watchdog too. WhatsApp 9110698650
