Antifreeze poisoning

General Information

Ethylene glycol is used as an automotive antifreeze. If it is left uncovered or drained on the ground, dogs and cats may drink it because of the sweet taste. Severe and often fatal poisoning results.

Prompt treatment is essential because ethylene glycol may cause permanent kidney damage.

Hospitalization and intensive treatment are required to treat most antifreeze poisonings. Severe kidney damage can occur rapidly.
