Antifreeze Poisoning
Ethylene glycol is used as an automotive antifreeze. If it is left uncovered or drained on the floor, dogs and cats may drink it because of the sweet taste. Severe and often fatal poisoning results. Prompt treatment is essential because ethene glycol may cause permanent kidney damage.
Hospitalization and intensive treatment are required to treat most antifreeze poisonings. Severe kidney damage can occure rapidly. Periodic blood tests over the course of treatment not only reflect your pet's response to medical aid but also help direct the type and intensity of treatment.
