After the antifreeze is poisoned, if the symptoms of drunk decline, it is not sure that it is restored
Many mistakes occur because the owner forgets to put on the antifreeze bottle cap, or it is not cleaned up after the old antifreeze is changed, or sometimes the car is leaked and the dog just eats it in the garage. Anti -frozen solution is usually fluorescent green or light blue, but there are other colors of products. Because the antifreeze is sweet, it is attractive to the dog.
The main component of the antifreeze is ethylene glycol, and ethylene glycol enters the central nervous system after accidentally eating. Just like humans intake too much alcohol, it may be depressed at first, and severe cases will appear in a coma. Etanol in the blood is oxidized by ethanol dehydrogenase into ethanol alcohol and metabolized into ethanol acid after passing the liver. Etheric acid is slowly transformed into acetaldehyde in the body, and the accumulation of acetal acid in the body can cause severe acid poisoning. Acetic acid is also transformed into oxalic acid, and the combination of oxalic acid and calcium in the body to form calcium oxalate crystals. These crystals can cause kidney clogging when filtered by the kidneys, which is the culprit that causes the renal failure we see in the emergency room in the end.
Related symptoms of antifreeze poisoning:
The first 12 hours after intake of ethylene glycol, dogs will drink a lot of water differently. And they may also have symptoms of "drunk", and severe cases may have epilepsy (convulsions) or even coma. Within 12-24 hours after intake of ethylene glycol, the "drunk" state may disappear on the surface, and everyone may feel that the situation has a good direction. However, the acetal acid in the body is slowly hoarding, and the acidity of acidosis is obvious. At this time, dogs may have a manifestation of accelerated heartbeat and accelerated breathing, and it is more likely to have dehydration symptoms. Generally, dogs will be formulated in 36-72 due to the formation of calcium oxalate, while cats are eating ethylene glycol for 12-24 hours. In addition, dogs have symptoms of renal failure, including mental depression, loss of appetite, vomiting, and reduced urine output.
After poisoning
Treatment:
There are only two solutions for treating ethylene glycol poisoning: ethanol or metapol. The focus of treatment is to stop metabolic objects such as ethanol acid and acetal acid formed in the body in time to avoid the formation of calcium oxalate crystals. Therefore, if a cat eats it by mistake, it must be treated within 3 hours. If the treatment is delayed, these drugs have no power to return to heaven. Dogs need to be treated within 8 hours by mistake. Although the time period is slightly longer, the early treatment is better.
Although the antifreeze tastes good for the dog, even a small amount of intake can cause more serious consequences. The amount of antifreeze of the two teas spoons may cause the dog's death. If the owner suspects that the dog's dog eats the antifreeze by mistake, you must take the dog to check it as soon as possible. The higher the guarantee.
