Dog

Dangerous

Described signs

Vomiting, low energy and a wobbly walk soon after licking it and, later on, a lot of thirst and a lot of urinating, which is the sign the kidneys are suffering. It leaves small puddles under the car, within licking reach, so no bottle has to be knocked over.

Vomiting, low energy and a wobbly walk, and then a lot of thirst and a lot of urinating, which is the sign the kidneys are suffering. On top of drinking from the puddle, a cat takes in whatever it stepped on when it cleans its paws.
