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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

There are several other toxins and conditions that can mimic the symptoms of ethylene glycol toxicity in dogs, such as certain medications, Alcoholic Beverages, antifreeze propylene glycol, and other chemicals. Some signs of ethylene glycol ingestion include vomiting, seizures, increased drinking and urination, and kidney failure. If your dog was not exposed to antifreeze, it's important to work with your vet to consider other possible causes of these symptoms.
