==Prognosis==
==Prognosis==
The prognosis is variable according to the severity of clinical signs. Horses that are able to drink may have a good prognosis providing nursing care is available. Recumbent horses carry a grave prognosis with a mortality rate of approximately 80%. Recovered horses may be normal but some may be left with persistent neurological deficits.

==Prevention==
Effective prevention is obtained via vaccination with the tetanust toxoid vaccine. Brood mares may be vaccinated one to three months prior to foaling in order to maximise passive immunity to the foal.
