Anti-freeze

[Mags]

Another warning of the danger of anti-freeze to cats. Unfortunately it appears that several cats have been poisoned in the Bristol area - see here - (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7968262.stm)

Be aware ...... if your cat is displaying symptoms including vomiting, not eating, lethargy, or seizures, contact your vet immediately.

I do hope this is a case of an old car or something. Can't (don't want to) believe someone would do this on purpose.

I echoe your post CM it would be a disgusting thought to think that anybody was going around doing that deliberatly:( :evil:

Anti-freeze is very sweet tasting & can kill cats & dogs easily.

I ahve heard that burglars used to coat meat in antifreeze & throw to guard dogs when breaking in. :shock:

That's horrible! You must be concerned about Cassie; she doesn't wander much, does she?

When my Frankie died, the vet said he thought the cat had had anti freeze. I lived on the beach then, in the summer, why would anyone have antifreeze?

It caused kidney failure in the end.

I am also fairly sure there was a wine producing country (Germany? Austria? Not sure at all), that used anti freeze to sweeten its white wines one year.. caused no end of trouble.

I vaguely remember that too ...thought it was Italy

It is worrying as it's happening in my area, the vet practice, mentioned in the report, is where I take Cassie:?

Fortunately Cassie doesn't stay outdoors for long at this time of the year and she doesn't wander far in the summer either.

I recognized the area from your address, but didn't know that was your vet! Do you have room in the garden for a small pond with fish.... keep her happy in her own lovely garden! :D
