Apologies in advance for the spam, but I'm trying to get this out to as many sources as possible. One of our dogs, our 5 year old Norwegian Elkhound is suffering from anti-freeze poisoning. We've had her in the vet's office for the last 3 days on IV's trying to get her fluid level up and kidneys functioning again, but it's not looking good. I just want people in north Phoenix, especially the Moon Valley area to be aware and on the lookout.

Last week while my wife was in the hospital for her c-section and I was spending most of my time with her and our baby, we think somebody threw something over the wall to intentionally poison her. Two calls to the Phoenix PD and they still have not come out to take a report. I'm going to be calling the local media tomorrow to try and get the word out.

Please be on the lookout and watch after your pets.

Interesting. While taking one of our dogs to the oncologist a week ago, I read in a veteranary journal about glycol poisoning. It only takes about 1.4 ml/kg to kill a cat. Interesting thing that it is a long drawn out death with cats, and just when they are looking like the are recovering from it, all their organ functions shutdown and they die from it.

It doesn't take too much more to kill a dog. Luckily, dogs show the symptoms sooner and tend to respond to treatment better than cats.

It is a sad human who will poison an animal instead of just asking the owner to quiet them down. Maybe such a person should try a couple of AF cocktail themselves.

Unfortunately, our mama dog has metastatic melanoma. While we have her on chemotherapy, it is only going to prolong her life, not stop the melanoma. Good luck with your puppy.
