A three-year-old intact beagle presents on emergency at 5 pm. The owner saw the dog licking up antifreeze spilled while he was flushing the radiator in his car this morning.
After supper, the dog began to vomit, and then had a seizure. The dog is markedly obtunded on physical exam.
The owner feels responsible and wants to do whatever is necessary to help the dog, but would prefer the shortest effective treatment course, if possible.
