Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2004Antifreeze
I noticed our cat has been drinking anti-freeze off the garage floor and seems to like it. I can't imagine this is healthy, but is there something you can give it to clean it out of their system? take him to the vets NOW! Its a bad poison for cats, and can KILL! them quickly! > I noticed our cat has been drinking anti-freeze off the garage floor and > seems to like it. I can't imagine this is healthy, but is there something > you can give it to clean it out of their system? Antifreeze is toxic! It is poisonous to cats!! If you really have witnessed this (that is, if the cat was actually drinking and not just investigating), it's remarkable that your cat is still alive. Call an emergency veterinary service. If one is not available, call one of the poison control hot lines for animals: Animal Poison Hotline: 1-888-232-8870 (there is a per-incident fee) National Animal Poison Control: 1-888-426-4435 (free, AFAIK) ASPCA poison control hotline: (888) 4ANI-HELP or (888) 426-4435 [Note: the source I read claims this is the only dedicated animal poison control hotline manned by veterinarians, not telephone operators - but I don't have any personal knowledge] MaryL > Antifreeze is toxic!

Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..." ("The Boy in the Bubble") Paul Simon That hotline (1-888-426-4435) is NOT free. They will charge $45 to your credit card.

Are you given an option on the 4435 number to accept or reject, or is the fee added as soon as contact is made? I think this number was free at one time, but obviously not now.

You cannot be billed for dialing a (888) number. You and the party you are calling can arrange for payment if you agree to pay (by providing a credit card, bank account information, or promising to send money) With a (900) number you are billed effectively as soon as you call, although IIRC there is a mandatory billing-announcement period, during which the (900) number is legally obligated to inform you of the charges, and permit you to disconnect without charges.

Thanks! That makes sense, but I wanted to be sure. This is a service that was free at one time, so I have amended my files. MaryL well ihatespam@hotmail.com I hope your cats okay! I tried to email you... > I noticed our cat has been drinking anti-freeze off the garage floor and > seems to like it. I can't imagine this is healthy, but is there something > you can give it to clean it out of their system? Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is extremly toxic to cats -- causes acute renal failure if not treated immediately. The minimum lethal dose for cats is only 1.5 ml/kg (3/4 cc/lb) - Only about 1 tablespoon of antfreeze diluted 50:50 with water in radiator fluid can cause acute oliguric renal failure in an average-sized cat. Don't waste time making phone calls or looking for information - get your cat to an emergency vet NOW --even if your cat shows no symptoms. > I noticed our cat has been drinking anti-freeze off the garage floor and > seems to like it.

Hey, weren´t you the one who posted about your girlfriend´s cat not drinking, pooping, eating for a week and vomiting on top of it? I told you it might be acute renal failure because of antifreeze or vitamin D poisoning. Now you see your cat drinking antifreeze knowing it´s highly toxic and let it happen?

Eq, I think everyone can do their own research if they want to find out if he's a troll or not, but very kind of you to do as zuzu22 did to me and inform everyone of messages we've already seen. Everyone in here is mature enough to make up their own minds about BigDaddy and didn't need to see previous post. By the way, I haven't seen zuzu22 posting much lately in here, but she sure was quick to do a complete search on me way back to May of last year and enlighten everyone of my personal life. Are you and zuzu related by chance? BigDaddy, if you're reading this, be aware that all of your post are archived to Google.com newsgroups and all it takes is one a.shole to do a search on your name and spread personal posts all over the net. There are a few people who enjoy this sort of thing because they are perfect (in their eyes) There were many who good advice to you and some who bashed you (as they tend to do here unless you are in their clique). Just listen to the advice of those who are genuinely concerned and ignore the rest. Good luck. > Eq, > > I think everyone can do their own research if they want to find out if he's > a troll or not, but very kind of you to do as zuzu22 did to me and inform > everyone of messages we've already seen.

LOL I didn't even know that WAS Christina. How can you tell these things? And how do you do a fake email addy? Hailey Hailey, Mary was one of many who was in the clique of mostly women will know immediately who I am ( I don't know if she wants a prize or what lol) because I made it quite obvious bringing zuzu22's name up, and mentioning that she was the "person" who decided it was her duty to clue everyone in here with her post "The Truth About Christina". Then she basically had more important things to do and I haven't heard from her since. Lovely woman that zuzu, I mean "Megan". I figured out how to do a fake email addy and change my name, most people put a fake email addy to avoid spam. I just did it for kicks. I plan on changing it every now and then, especially in this newsgroup where so many "dislike me", but only if I need help with my kitties. Are you using Outlook Express? If you are I'll tell you how to do it. It's actually very simple. You can change it as often as you like. > LOL I didn't even know that WAS Christina.

Most of us use munged (fake) addresses to avoid spam, but we do *not* change our usernames because we are not trying to hide from the newsgroup.

Anything that cuts down on spam is good for me! Hailey If I wanted to "hide" I would not have made the post so obvious that it was me. I'm sorry if I feel the need to defend myself here and that I only post when I want to complain, but I don't particularly care when certain people (I'll leave names out of it since there are too many in the clique) feel a need to constantly criticize and poke fun at me with their high fives and low fives, it's so childish. When I first joined here I stated that I had two new kittens and needed plenty of advice, so that's why I joined this group originally, to learn. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge that many of the cat owners in here do. Anyway, nevermind I don't want to explain anything else, just gives others entertainment and more reason to play around with me. They enjoy making fun of people in here that they don't like or agree with. I had sat back and watched three days worth of posts and all I saw was a bunch of people bickering back and forth, laughing like it was so funny to put others down, cliques, getting off on it. If I need any help or advice with my kitties I think instead of asking in here, I'm just going to search on the internet or call the vet. To all the kind people in here with a heart, have a great day and God Bless.

At this point it appears that you either enjoy the attention or have nothing better to do with your time and find this kind of thing entertaining.

A screen will open that shows all of your news accounts and the address(es) associated with them. Select Properties from the buttons on the right. Under e-mail address: edit for your new "munged" name. For example, you will see that mine is currently carstan10@yahoo.comTAKE-OUT-THE-LITTER. This simply means that the address is valid except that you must delete "take-out-the-litter" to use it. It is important for your phony information to appear to the right of the @ part of the address. You should also insert this same information in the preferences you set when you established your news account. Also, I did change my yahoo account a few months ago because the original one became clogged with spam (and I had not munged that address). There are others on this group who are more expert with a variety of news servers. Perhaps one of them will respond with additional information.

I would suggest that you use an actual news reader instead of Outlook or Outlook Express. Those are e-mail programs that just happen to be able to do news reading. A true reader will be easier to use, once you get used to it. It will also have much more flexibility, should you ever want it. Forte Inc. makes a product called Agent. There is a no-cost version called Free Agent. It is relatively easy to learn, but fairly good. It does force you to look at some advertising though, to pay the costs of the product. The true readers will allow you to put whatever you want in your posted address. There are "codes" in the header that identify you to your news provider so you can be identified by your provider should that become necessary. For an example of that, see my address in the header. You are completely correct in not posting your address. The amount of SPAM that is sent out is too large to measure. I have abandoned some of my e-mail addresses because of SPAM. It is too time consuming to look at dozens of those crap ads a day. Some people have hundreds a day. > >>.

Lots of people prefer programs other than OE. However... I am nowhere *near* a techie sort of person, & I learned about e-mail first w/ Juno (a super-simple freebie version), and then w/ OE, re: e-mail & also reading ngs. Upon recommendations by other people, I've looked into Free & Forte Agent & some other newsreaders in the past, & decided to stick w/ OE. It boils down to being familiar w/ OE (hey, it's enough of a technological learning curve for me when they come out w/ a new version of OE!), & not wanting or feeling the need to rock the/my boat; Outlook Express just doesn't bother me - I don't feel the need to change to something else.

Well, one part of my message was less than perfect. I left one digit (used "10" instead of "101") out of my address, so it won't work if someone tried to follow directions to send mail to me.

You know, there's something I've been wondering about. Did it ever occur to you that your sudden "layoff" from your job after you "passed out at [your] desk" at work probably had more to do with your substance abuse problems than with some mysterious medical malady that somehow caused you to, er, faint, yeah, faint, that's it...while *sitting down*? Pathetic lush. Go spend time with your children. Eat a breath mint first so they don't choke on your fumes. Buh bye, Laura SignatureDon't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it. -Russell Baker > I noticed our cat has been drinking anti-freeze off the garage floor and > seems to like it.
