Joni R black lab is dying tonight - Antifreeze poisoning - Pls, anyone suggestions?
Joni is a fellow rescuer in GA , just a wonderful woman and advocates for dogs - her Black Lab Kramer, 2 years old and rescued from Barrow is dying tonight - he was poisoned by Antifreeze - UGA released him to her tonight with no hope. He cannot urinate, vets cant do anything further. They said his kidneys are in bad shape - they told her, he needs to pee. Does anyone here have any experience or been through this before? Is there anything holistic she can do or give him ? She is desperate. he has had vets working on him for 48 hours in the last two days and UGA has basically released him to her saying there was nothing further they could do. If anyone has any ideas of what may work, please post and I will call Joni and relay. Thank you so much.

I am going to post this to different places here and I hope that is OK with mods.

Please say a prayer for Joni and Kramer, he needs a miracle according to his vets.

I've posted in your other threads. This poor dog needs to be humanely euthanized so not to suffer. Anti-freeze poisoning is terrible and since he's not peeing his kidneys are shut down and he will die painfully.

If they saw him drink the antifreeze then there are treatments, but once they start showing signs of of organ failure, I am very sorry to say it is too late.

I agree with Barb. he needs to be put down before he is in more pain.
