We also had a zinc level taken because I had heard the rumor about the zinc chloride in Febreze. He had poisonous levels. We tried our best but he also went into a coma and died on April 15, 1999. But I had used the earlier formulas. My vet said that zinc poisoning can cause anemia.
Zinc poisoning can also cause stomach lacerations.
I have now had my bottle of Febreze tested for the amount of zinc, and it was a very high amount. In my opinion, Febreze is toxic to pets. Something really needs to be done about removing this product from the market. Right now we are feeding him with a syringe because his mouth is burned to bad for him to eat or drink. Our previous Vet had us treating them with Valume.
