Antifreeze poisoning is a very serious illness which occurs when animals consume antifreeze which contains ethylene glycol. Most cases of antifreeze poisoning are seen in dogs and cats, but this can also occur in humans, most classically in curious children who drink antifreeze because it tastes good. People and pets with antifreeze poisoning need immediate medical attention and prompt intervention, or they will die.
