pets and antifreeze...

My beloved cat of 8 years, Sammy, has been in contact with antifreeze. The outcome will not be good.
That is why I am posting, so you might save your pet in the future.
To avoid the risk of poisoning animals a few basic safety measures are required:
When changing antifreeze keep your pets indoors.
Avoid spilling antifreeze on the ground and don't drain radiators into ditches or storm drains.
Keep the new antifreeze in its original container.
To store used antifreeze before disposal, put it into a clearly labelled, sealed container. Recycle or dispose of it at a garage with appropriate facilities for disposing of antifreeze. It can also be disposed of on Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days. For information about collection in B.C. call the tool free number: 1-800-667-4327. In Vancouver call 732-9253.
Keep antifreeze off the floor and away from pets.
Wipe up and wash away any spills.
If your pet returns home covered with an unknown substance, wash it off immediately.
Winter auto window washing fluids and products to prevent freezing in plumbing can also contain ethylene glycol. Check the ingredients, and if it contains EG, treat it the same as antifreeze.
There is a safe alternative - switch to non-toxic Propylene Glycol formulated antifreeze.

Thanks for getting the hazard of antifreeze posted, this may save someone
 
People that don't like animals are people I don't want to know. I'm praying for your cat Sammy. Hopefully things will work out. Within the last year I lost a dog and a cat that were both 15 years old. Nothing could replace the pleasure and love I got from them.
Good Luck
Mike
 
Dr Bruno Comby found that by placing animals on a total raw food diet rather than processed food most major diseases would leave the animals and good health was restored. He started with his own dog with cancer and progressed to people. The Comby Institute is in Europe. F Y I .
 
Depending on how much your kitty consumed will determine the amount of damage, unfortunately EG is sweet and that is what attracts animals to it. I hope she pulls through.
 
Sorry to hear about your cat. Hope everything turns out OK. Pets tend to become part of the family and can be quite entertaining.....This is Disco living up to his name... <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
