General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Dangerous cleaning!
« on: January 10, 2006, 11:50:55 am »
I just found this in my hovawart newsletter and I will just quote it:

"Dangerous Cleaning!
...FeBreze has also been found to be fatal to animals. Most home cleaning products have anti-freeze in them (listed as propylene glycol) and/or engine-degreaser. Yet another reason to consider using more healthy cleaning solutions..." 

This was based on the following:

" A fiend had to put down their 5-year old German shepherd dog due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a few weeks ago. They had a necropsy done to see what the cause was.
The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was hard to believe.
My neighbor started going through oll the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he niticed, in very tiny print, a waring which stated "May be harmful to small children and animal". He called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the ingredients. (Actually he was told it's a compound which is one molcule! abway from antifreeze.)
Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its own paws, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver.
Soon after his dog's death, his housekeepers two cats also died of liver failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors. Neocropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as possible."

I hope that no animal here will be affected by this kind of liver failure.
