Soon you will be adding in antifreeze to your vehicle. Many times, people do not pay attention to that little bit of antifreeze that drips from underneath the car. This could be a deadly mistake that you may forever regret.
Even just a little bit can be deadly to your dog or cat. Preventing antifreeze poisoning is the best thing you can do.
While there is no all natural antifreeze for your vehicle, there is a safer, less-toxic alternative to the ethylene glycol that is deadly to your pet. This year, consider propylene-glycol based antifreeze.
Other tips for preventing deadly antifreeze poisoning:
*Have your vehicle maintained regularly.
*Keep a look out for leaks, such as greenish pools under your car.
*Clean up spills immediately.
*Do not let your dog wander the neighborhood. Those who do not have dogs may not be as careful in their driveways.
*Keep antifreeze jugs up high where they cannot get knocked over.
Symptoms come in two stages. Stage one will occur approximately 30 minutes after ingestion. The tricky part is that your dog or cat may “seem” better for about a day or two and then stage two will follow.
Stage One:
*Staggering
*Vomiting
*Confusion
*Listlessness
*Excessive drinking and urination
Stage Two:
*Diarrhea
*Convulsions
*Unconsciousness
If you suspect your dog or cat has ingested antifreeze, the only thing you can do is take your pet to the veterinarian. While inducing vomiting can help to get some of the antifreeze out of his system, only a veterinarian can help him.
Make the switch to the less toxic antifreeze this season. While it is not an all natural solution, it is a better alternative.
