Okay... You are asking on Yahoo!Answers if your dog will live. What do you expect us to say? "We'll send you these pills through e-mail and he should be fine,"?

We CANNOT tell you if your dog is going to live.

It is vital that you get your butt off the computer and call an emergency vet. If my dog ate antifreeze the Internet will be the last thing on my mind.


EDIT: Okay... What pills did you give him?

100% fatal. Needs to go to vet ASAP. Can't leave all I can say is try to make him throw up. The appropriate dose of hydrogen peroxide is one teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. If you have an oral syringe, one teaspoon equals 5 cc or 5 ml. Once given, walk your dog around or gently shake the stomach area to mix the peroxide with the stomach contents. Vomiting should occur within 15 to 20 minutes. If no vomiting occurs, you can safely repeat the three percent hydrogen peroxide once. If it is still not effective, your dog may need to be seen by a veterinarian for stronger vomiting medication

Even a few licks of this sweet-tasting fluid can be fatal to a cat or dog. Antifreeze poisoning occurs in two stages: In the first stage, the ethylene glycol within the antifreeze causes a drunken appearance in the animal within almost 30 minutes which may continue for several hours. After passing through stage 1, the animal appears to recover. Stage 2 begin when the dog's liver begins metabolizing the ethylene glycol, changing it into more toxic substances. Within 12 to 36 hours of ingestion, these metabolites have reach such a level that the dog's kidneys stop functioning, and the animal slips into a coma.

Getting the dog to a veterinarian is critical within the first 9-12 hours following ingestion. After that length of time, the liver will have already begin metabolizing the ethylene glycol into substances that cause kidney failure and ultimately death. The faster your pet is treated by a veterinarian the better the likelihood of recovery. Again, this poison is extremely toxic!!!

Call you vet, they may have something you can do at home. Anti-freeze is deadly poison, so the dog needs immediate treatment. The vet will probably have you cause the dog to throw up, and maybe have some other suggestions for you. But if you really really can't get there at least call and get their advice.

Apparently, they may have made antifreeze out of different ingredients for dogs a few years ago.

I would look up what brand/year/kind of antifreeze you have and see if it will hurt your dog. If you find that he may be in trouble and you absolutely cannot leave, there may be other solutions. Believe it or not, you can get your dog drunk and then the antifreeze won't be able to react since the ethanol will take it's place and it will pass safely through your dog's system.

Call a vet and ask them. A guy in our old neighborhoof couldnt stand dogs. He left a bowl of antifreeze out in the road one night..killed 4 of them. He was aressted thank god. But anitfreeze is very poisonous. You need to do somethign to flush out his system. It wont be easy. Good luck to you and you should pay attention to things like that.

Always had dogs. Experience just about everything there is to experience. You learn a lot.

Induce vomiting IMMEDIATELY. Then call your vet or ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435. You really need to speak with a vet, as antifreeze is quite dangerous. A vet would be administering 4-methypyrazole to counteract the antifreeze.

You are really going to have to try to find a away to get to a vet. Know someone who can maybe drive you?

You're going to have to keep a very close eye on him. If he seems strange, even in the slightest, you need to get him to a vet. Do not induce vomiting, that could just make it worse. If he starts throwing up, getting diarrhea or acting lethargic, take him to a vet. Antifreeze is very toxic to animals.

works with dogs

Why was he outside in a blizzard? Call an emergency vet, you should be able to find one in the phone book and ask them what to do. They will have the BEST answer.
