Every year cats die because they have been poisoned by ethylene glycol, otherwise known as antifreeze. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with ethanol therapy can be life-saving, however, in many cases the early signs may be missed or are vague and non-specific resulting in late presentation.

Worth noting!

Today is due to be 25 degrees. Look at the chart below about walking or doing anything from 11-4. Walk later in the evening. Dogs die in the heat, Dogs die in hot cars, Dogs burn their feet on the ground. Remember dogs resting temperature is a lot higher than ours! I won't be walking my girls until 7/8 this evening!
