I Like Dogs
Learned something new last month. My dog got into the auto shop and found some anti-freeze. (I was livid. No reason for something like that to not be properly disposed of immediately.)
I ran him to the vet and they gave me the estimate of how much it would cost for them to treat him. I couldn't afford it. They didn't want my dog to die just because I didn't have the money so they showed me on a printout what they would do to treat him and how I could do it at home.
Their treatment called for alcohol by IV for a period of like 14 hours. When the body has to start removing the alcohol it creates something that will also remove the anti-freeze. So the instructions were to keep him drunk on Everclear. Every 2 hours he got 4 tbsp of alcohol. They said to put it in milk but he didn't like it. I added hot dogs and he went for it. He turned out fine.
