Antifreeze
Otherwise known as ‘Ethylene glycol’ is normally placed in car radiators in the winter. Unfortunately poisoning with antifreeze is common as it has a very sweet taste and any spilled antifreeze may be licked by cats in quantities sufficient to cause extreme sickness and even death. Damage is usually done to the kidneys If you are storing antifreeze in the garage/ workshop/shed, keep containers properly sealed and out of reach of your cats. Clear up any spillages immediately.
Clinical Signs
Depression, restlessness, in coordination, convulsions, coma and death.
