Two West Lothian cats die within days of each other from ‘antifreeze poisoning’

Two cats from West Lothian have died within the past week, both involved in incidents just metres from each other on Philip Avenue.

One of the deceased pets, Frankie, was shaking and unable to raise his head before he was put to sleep by a vet. On inspection, it was found that Frankie had suffered kidney and brain damage before his death - two classic symptoms of antifreeze poisoning.

The six-year-old cat had been missing for two days before he was spotted by neighbours and returned to his owners, and the Scottish SPCA has now urged cat owners to store the product in a secure place.
