If you see your dog drink antifreeze, force it to drink hydrogen peroxide immediately or rush it to the vet right now, or both NOW!!!

There is nothing YOU can do for this. It is fatal and a long horrid death. We answered an urgent call for help on a sick dog, turned out he had antifreeze poisoning. His bodily systems were already shutting down and we had to allow euthenizing to end his suffering. It is one of the slowest, nastiest ways to go.
If you even think this has happened get off here and get to a emergency vet. The breath will have a sick sweet odor normally if antifreeze. I doubt they can save the dog, even if they try, it won't ever be alright. End the suffering.

Well, that's bad! Antifreeze is highly poisenis and highly toxic! Only a FEW LICKS and it can be very fatal to a cat or dog! Bring your dog to the animal hospital immediatly! I am so sorry! Go,Go, Go! Good luck!

Get it to a vet immediately and they may be able to save the animal, however, if you wait too long the dog will need to be put down. If not the poor dog will suffer horribly from seizures and severe spasms. Please don't let the animal suffer. If you don't have the money to take it to the vet, then call out your local animal control and they may be able to take care of it for you. God Bless!!!

Antifreeze is toxic to dogs. If your dog drank it, you need to take it to the vet ASAP

RUSH the dog to the emergency vet! If you have any in the house, get a high % alcohol like Everclear into the dog to make it vomit. The alcohol competes with the ethylene glycol in the liver.

You need to get him to the vet immediately because he only has a short period of time for the vet to give him the medicine to possibly save his life. Probably by the time you asked this question and waited for the answer it would be too late.

Call animal poison control immediately. Antifreeze is extremely toxic.

Antifreeze will crystalize his liver. He needs to be taken to a vet.

bleed internally a slow painful death depending on how much the dog got into, I know it is hard but it is best to put the dog down. My heart goes out to you it is a hard thing to watch, and deal with. Good Luck
