My Puppy Drank Antifreeze
I had my 8 month old labradoodle (Layla) over to my parents tonight, I took her for a walk and when we got back there, I went into my car to get something. When I poked my head out, I noticed she was drinking from a puddle. I told her to stop and thought nothing more of it and went inside. My mom actually asked if she could give Layla some water, and I said sure because she seemed thirsty, she was drinking from the puddle out in the parking lot. That's when my dad spoke up and said that the neighbours truck had a bad antifreeze leak and that there was a puddle of it. (It was dark out so I didn't notice the colour). Sure enough, we inspected it with a flashlight and it was bright green.
I called my 24hour vet emergency # and rushed her there. He force fed her really gross charcoal to absorb the antifreeze and started her on a drip of alcohol for 3 days. I guess this helps it not to crystalize and helps prevent kidney failure. I really hope everything is ok...she has to stay there for 3 days. Has anyone ever had this happen? Did your animal come out ok?? I have read some really bad things. I got her there quick so he thinks there's a really good chance things will be ok, but I still wonder if there could be long term damage, or the chance things won't be ok.....anyone have any ideas? |
