A cat was saved with vodka after consuming antifreeze. Antifreeze is extremely dangerous to pets. The cat was having a horrible near death experience when rescuers found him. The cat was named Tipsy after doctors hooked him to an IV and administered a few shots of diluted vodka. After, the cat was feeling pretty nice, as expected!

A dog named Charlie, a maltese terrier from Australia, also had a near death experience. He had ingested ethylene glycol, a poisonous substance found in antifreeze. The vet gave him vodka to clean out his kidneys before they completely shut down. Close call!

An Italian tourist also consumed large amounts of the poisonous substance ethylene glycol when on vacation in Australia. Pure alcohol is the usual treatment when this substance is consumed. So, doctors drip fed him vodka straight to his veins to keep him alive after they treated him with the last amount of pure alcohol they had at the hospital. Lucky fella!
Please remember not to feed your pets alcohol! If they have been poisoned, take them to a veterinarian right away!
