question 157 1 pts
a ____________ vaccination should be given to a horse before undergoing surgery.
rabies
encephalitis
clostridium c & d
tetanus

Explanation:

Tetanus is a common vaccination given to horses before surgery as horses are at risk of tetanus infection from wounds during surgery. Tetanus - causing bacteria can enter through breaks in the skin. Vaccination helps prevent this serious and potentially fatal disease. Rabies is mainly for prevention against rabies - causing virus which is not a primary concern pre - surgery. Encephalitis vaccines are for prevention of encephalitis - related viruses and not a standard pre - surgical vaccine. Clostridium C & D vaccines are for protection against clostridial diseases but not as crucial pre - surgery as tetanus.

Answer:

D. tetanus
