Lamp oil
Also called: tiki torch fluid · tiki-torch fluid · torch fuel · torch oil · lighter fluid · charcoal lighter fluid · lighter refill fluid
Dog
Dangerous
Described signs
Drooling, champing of the jaws, gagging and vomiting, and irritation of the mouth, skin and eyes. The serious risk is that the liquid, which is very thin, gets into the lungs while swallowing or vomiting: coughing, choking and aspiration pneumonia that can take a while to show.
Cat
Dangerous
Described signs
Drooling, gagging, vomiting and irritation of the mouth, skin and eyes, and coughing or laboured breathing if the liquid gets into the lungs while swallowing or vomiting. A knocked-over lamp leaves oil on the floor and on the coat, and the cat finishes swallowing it by grooming.
