If this is not possible, quickly warm the affected area by using warm, NOT HOT, moist towels, which should be changed frequently. As the affected tissues become flushed or reddened, discontinue the warming and apply a clean, dry, non-adhering bandage. Carefully store antifreeze where pets cannot reach it. Antifreeze has a sweet taste, which makes it appealing to pets, but it is highly toxic. Frequent brushing of indoor pets is even more important in winter.

Their small size and low body weight makes it impossible to generate enough heat to protect themselves. Get our releases via E-Mail. This page has been accessed 967 times.
