Atypical presentation of long-term ethylene glycol poisoning in a German shepherd dog.
Ethylene glycol is a common cause of poisoning and death in pets by being converted to more toxic metabolites responsible of many toxic effects, mainly renal damage. The present paper describes an atypical case of ethylene glycol poisoning in a dog due to consumption of small amounts of antifreeze solution over a long period of time, and resulting a renal failure.
