Antifreeze

I noticed our cat has been drinking anti-freeze off the garage floor and
seems to like it. I can't imagine this is healthy, but is there something
you can give it to clean it out of their system?

Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is extremly toxic to cats -- causes acute
renal failure if not treated immediately.

The minimum lethal dose for cats is only 1.5 ml/kg (3/4 cc/lb) - Only about
1 tablespoon of antfreeze diluted 50:50 with water in radiator fluid can
cause acute oliguric renal failure in an average-sized cat.

Don't waste time making phone calls or looking for information - get your
cat to an emergency vet NOW --even if your cat shows no symptoms.

IIRC, BigDaddy is a troll. He's the one who posted about his gf's cat and
then posted about all the useless replies (in a thread entitled "Useless
Replies," no less). If he's not a troll, he's definitely not the
brightest
(or most refined) brick on the block.

Yes, I remembered that thread and knew that this could be a troll,
especially with a message about a cat licking antifreeze. I just didn't
want to take any risks, *in case* this could be legitimate -- in which case,
there would be no time to waste before taking action.

Thanks,

Hey, weren´t you the one who posted about your girlfriend´s cat not
drinking, pooping, eating for a week and vomiting on top of it? I told
you it might be acute renal failure because of antifreeze or vitamin D
poisoning. Now you see your cat drinking antifreeze knowing it´s
highly toxic and let it happen? You must be a troll.

Sure! Apply your lips to the cat's nether-regions and suck. Gently,
now, you don't want to hurt the kitty.
