Dog saved from antifreeze ingestion

You may know that antifreeze is deadly for humans and animals. A puppy from Australian licked some car parts. The owner noticed the dog acting peculiar and getting sick. She took it too the veterinarian. They realized it was antifreeze poisoning.

I didn't know there was a treatment for this. But, they gave the dog alcohol, Vodka to be exact. The Vodka was administered through a drip. It's used to flush out the effects of the toxin.

I guess the alcohol could have been dangerous itself if not given to the dog under medical supervision. They say this treatment is rarely given.

Here's the story:
