A dog left paralysed from head to tail by tetanus has made a remarkable recovery. Two-year-old Rusty was struggling to walk and shaking uncontrollably after he was rushed to a vet.
The English Springer Spaniel had contracted life-threatening tetanus which caused him to suffer muscle spasms, stiff limbs and hyperthermia. He spent three weeks in intensive care while veterinary staff gave him round-the-clock care and support.
Thankfully Rusty made a full recovery and was soon bounding around the animal hospital. His owners took him to Linnaeus-owned Willows Veterinary Centre and Referral Service in Solihull for treatment.
