It depends what the fluid is.
If it's really old then it might be Mercury. This is a silver substance that will turn into little balls in your hand. This could be a problem. See a vet.
More than likely, it's rubbing alcohol. This is the same stuff you put on wounds, just with a dye in it (usually red). You should be OK. He would have to drink a lot of it to have any lasting effect. Just let it pass through his system.

What is in liquid pool acid?
liquid pool acid is Muriatic acid or more commonly know as Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
What is the name of the liquid used to clean swimming pool?
The liquid is called Chlorine.
How do you know if its mercury or alcohol your thermometer broke in and around the pool Help?
Mercury is a metal so it will sink to the bottom of the pool where an alcohol will float. Actually, it's more likely that alcohol will simply disperse into the pool; low molecular weight alcohols are extremely soluble. A simpler way to tell is the color: mercury is silver and looks, well, metallic; alcohol in thermometers is generally colored either red or blue simply to make it easier to see. (A lot of people think mercury is red, but it isn't. Some mercury COMPOUNDS such as cinnabar are red, but those are not used in thermometers.) The fact that the liquid in the thermometer is metallic does not necessarily mean that it is mercury; it might be a gallium alloy. However, since mercury is toxic, if you're not sure it's probably safer to assume that it was mercury and treat the spill accordingly.
What is an instrument that measures changes in air pressure using liquid mercury?
Any liquid can actually be use in a tube (barometer) to measure air pressure, but there are various advantages in using mercury for the purpose. 1. Mercury is a shiny liquid (a liquid metal) so it can be easily seen through the glass tube. Other liquid like water are transparent. 2. Mercury is very heavy. So only 76cms of it rises in the tube. Had you been using water for the purpose, you would need a glass tube as long as 55ft. 3. Mercury does not stick to the glass surface inside, so the reading obtained is much more accurate and precise. Remember: Water droplets stick to glass.
How many ml in a swimming pool?
You need to know the height of the pool to answer. Liquid is measured in volume, 3 dimensions (m3)
What is a safe, non-toxic, swimming pool cleaner?
There is a product called "Pool Anti-Freeze" that is a safe, non-toxic swimming pool cleaner. You can purchase it at the Aqua Superstore online and it is around $10 for a 1quart bottle of concentrated liquid.
What instrument measures temperature of the a swimming pool?
The anwser to this QuestionWe would use a termometre to measure , the temperature of a swimming pool .A thermometer.
Do pool thermometers contain mercury?
Most pool thermometers do not contain mercury. An easy way to tell if a pool thermometer contains mercury is if it sinks to the bottom of the pool rather than float.
When your pool thermometer breaks in the pool should you shock the pool right away?
Shocking is not useful response for a broken pool thermometer. Most pool thermometers are electronic sensors or bimetallic strips, which won't put anything into the pool if they break, or are based on colored alcohol, for which shocking will not do anything. If your broken thermometer used mercury (unlikely) it will settle to the bottom and into the drain traps. You need to get the mercury out of the drains.
How can you tell what temperature your pool water is?
Use a thermometer.
How does a thermometer?
Typical Liquid in Glass Thermometers (air and body temperature)Molecules moving around the thermometer impart energy to the liquid inside, increasing its own energy, or heat. The heat causes the expansion of the liquid, which rises up the tube.The molecules in contact with the thermometer can also absorb energy from the molecules of the liquid, which will cause the liquid to contract, and move down in the tube. (The glass tube has little friction, and the liquid is highly cohesive, so it will "pool" in the reservoir at the bottom when it cools.) The balance between energy absorbed and energy imparted will be achieved when the thermometer liquid is at the same temperature as the measured material, as indicated on the marked graduated tube.Metal Coil Thermometers (thermostats)As with liquid thermometers, the metal winding expands or contracts in response to the energy absorbed from the air or liquid around it. This expansion pushes the end of the metal indicator back and forth in the dial face.
What tools would you use to measure temperature of the water in a swimming pool?
The easiest way is with a floating thermometer.
How long does a liquid pool cleaner usually take for an above ground pool?
Hummmm, please explain to us what a liquid pool cleaner is.
Are pool chemicals toxic for pets?
Be very careful of pool chemicals as they are toxic to all pets. A lot of chemicals are safe once diluted but not everything is safe. www.petinsurance.com
