When the icy weather sets in, most motorists stock up on antifreeze to help keep their cars running through the winter months. But many haven't considered how their go-to product could impact their beloved pets. The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is urging pet owners to remain mindful when using antifreeze this winter as even a small amount can be toxic to animals.
It can damage their kidneys and cause death, even if only a small amount has been ingested. Soon after drinking antifreeze, some pets can become wobbly on their feet, appearing as though they're drunk. They may dribble or be sick before seeming to make a recovery around the 12 hour mark.
