What could mimic the symptoms of anti-freeze ethylene glycol in a dog my dog was with me for 8 days and no where near anti-freeze but that's what the Vet thinks killed him?

This happen to a dog I had years ago. There happen to be just a quarter size amount on my driveway and the dog licked it and was poisioned,its sweet so they like the taste. I thought that anti freeze like that has been banned and that it is now made not to make animals sick if they ingest it. Spaceapex: He did not get into anti freeze as I stated in my question. I want to know what would make a dog sick for 2 days then fine for 2 days then go into kidney failure???? He was the only good thing I had in my life and I must know what did this. No ethylene glycol is not banned but they make an alternative that is made with propylene glycol. It costs more.

Does dog food have dog or cat remains?

In most commercial dog foods, the primary ingredients are not dog or cat remains. Instead, they typically contain a combination of meat by-products, grains, vegetables, and supplements to meet the nutritional needs of dogs. The meat by-products used in dog food can include parts of animals that are not commonly consumed by humans, such as organ meats and bones. It's essential to read the ingredients list on the dog food packaging to understand what is included in the product. Reputable dog food brands follow regulations and standards to ensure the safety and nutritional adequacy of their products. If you have specific concerns about the ingredients in a particular dog food, it's advisable to consult with a veterinarian.


The dog's food have weevils?

Take the dog food back to wherever you purchased it from. Buy a good name brand dog food, not some cheap generic brand. Dog food should not have weevils in it. Do not feed it to your dog, return it & get a better dog food.

Is propylene glycol poisonous?

Short answer: probably not. Propylene glycol is a chemical that can be used as a less toxic antifreeze, and is also used as an additive in some health and beauty products, dog and cat food, medications, and even food coloring/flavorings. The FDA has classified propylene glycol as "generally recognized as safe." In order to do any real damage, one would have to ingest an astronomical amount in a short period of time. So, unless you have a gallon of it lying around, I wouldn't worry.

You have heard that dog food and cat food is consumable to humans. Is this true or it can not be on the market?

Not True. Animal food can contain dead animals, floor sweepings from a meat rendering plant and propolyne glycol which is a less toxic form of antifreeze, and many other "not-for-human consumption" ingredients. There are very few pet foods available for Human Consumption. It should be against the law what they can put in dog food! Some of the Holistic foods, or Wellness made by Old Mother Hubbard are "Human Grade". Read more here: www.MikaAndMax.webs.com or feel free to email me for more info sephiscape@gmail.com.

Can a dog take CLARITIN It is not misspelled the word is CLARITIN?

Surprisingly enough, the answer is yes. Claritin is safe to use for dogs to relieve itching. Claritin-D should not be used on dogs, as it contains pseudoephedrine. Also, Claritin contains propylene glycol and should not be used on cats. Dosage for dogs is about half of the recommended human dosage for medium sized dogs, and about a quarter dosage for small dogs.
