<----suppose to look that way.
It is estimated that each year 90,000 pets and animals die from accidentally ingesting conventional ethylene glycol-based (EG) antifreeze. So dangerous is EG-based antifreeze, a teaspoon can be fatal to a cat and just two ounces can kill a dog.
Fortunately there is a safer alternative: The safer propylene glycol-based (PG) antifreeze. Like the brand names: SIERRA or AMSOIL These cost a little more but are well worth it to protect our pets and enviroment.
Animals accidentally ingest antifreeze from leaking radiators and improperly stored containers of used antifreeze. They are attracted to conventional EG antifreeze for it's sweet smell and taste.
Antifreeze violently disrupts the calcium balance in the animal's system, causing acute, irreversible kidney failure. The kidney failure sends the animal into uremic poisoning, possible seizures and a coma, ending in death.
The key is noticing the symptoms early. If your pet appears disoriented, drunk or wobbly, it may be an early warning sign. As the condition progresses, the animal may vomit, seizure, appear depressed or listless.
If owners witness a pet consuming antifreeze, or the pet exhibits these signs, call a veterinarian immediately. Survival depends on the amount of antifreeze ingested.
If you suspect your pet has consumed antifreeze, immediately make them vomit with syrup of ipecac, or 1 tsp of Hydrogen Peroxide, or 1 tbsp of dry yellow mustard. Do this before you head to the vet. This will remove any antifreeze that may still be in the stomach, and obviously prevent it from entering the bloodstream. The animal could live for 24 to 72 hours after ingestion. A medical antidote may be administered to save the pet's life if given in time.
To prevent such a tragedy from happening, think of your pets when you prepare your car for the winter driving season. Remember, new, less toxic antifreezes are on the market as an option for motorists.
When changing antifreeze or any other vital car fluid, everyone should dispose of it properly. Place all used antifreeze in a plastic container, seal it tightly and take it to an automobile service station for recycling.
Be sure to store all new antifreeze containers where your pets cannot get into them. Completely clean all antifreeze spills in the garage or driveway. Through these simple steps, drivers won't have to accidentally hurt a pet in order to start a car this winter.
We need to be careful and dispose of antifreeze properly for the sake of our pets and other people's pets as well. Ingesting even a small amount of antifreeze could be deadly for dogs and cats.

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo Kitty!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, things are definitely livening up on the FLint Talk forum.
ok fellas, prepare for incoming from rap & Ted who will say these are:
sexist, and a diversion from the REAL issues that should be discussed here, to wit.....
a)who is fatter? Don W. or Keith Speers of the Police Officers Union...
b) does Patsy Lou have a clue? or is she Dandy Don's Puppet
c) Who is REALLY is OLDER Howdy Doody look alike Dale Kildee; or the first lady of Flint, Patsy Lou?
d) which uses more gallons of paint/coloring, an Earl Scheib $ 99 auto paint job, or Patsy Lou's spray on tan?
e) where are the REAL crime statistics for Flint kept and how can Ted J tap into them 24/7.
f) just WHAT is Flintteach's secret identity, and how DID he travel to Florida and back by car and only spend $ 210 for gas...with gas nearly $2.80/gal?
you know folks, THOSE important issues......
nice diversion though Steve.
