If your cat has eaten a diamond frost, it is important to take action immediately. Diamond frost is a type of antifreeze that is highly toxic to cats. Even a small amount can cause serious health problems, including kidney failure and death.
Symptoms of diamond frost poisoning in cats can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Coma
If you think your cat has eaten diamond frost, do not wait to see if symptoms develop. Call your veterinarian or the nearest animal poison control center immediately.
Treatment for diamond frost poisoning typically involves supportive care, such as:
- Intravenous fluids to help flush the toxin from the body
- Medications to control vomiting and diarrhea
- Blood transfusions to correct anemia
- Dialysis to support the kidneys
The prognosis for cats who have eaten diamond frost depends on the amount of toxin they ingested and how quickly they received treatment. With prompt treatment, most cats can make a full recovery. However, some cats may suffer permanent kidney damage or other health problems.
To prevent your cat from eating diamond frost, be sure to store all antifreeze products in a safe place where your cat cannot reach them. If you spill any antifreeze, clean it up immediately and thoroughly.
