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

My 6month old Doberman has a swollen paw (just one pad). He’s in pain, he cries at times. Doesn’t allow us to touch either. As far as I looked, unable to find any foreign object. How should I treat it? And what all could be the possible reason?
