Ethylene glycol (EG) remains a significant cause of fatal toxicosis in companion animals. Poisoning typically occurs via ingestion of antifreeze or engine-coolant products, in which EG concentrations can vary from 50% to more than 95%. The minimum lethal dose of undiluted EG is low in dogs (6.6 mL/kg) and even lower in cats (1.5 mL/kg), contributing to the high case fatality rate, particularly when treatment is delayed. Following rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, EG is...
