Dogs and Antifreeze

[Gary Fowler]

The OP may have used RV anti-freeze (propylene glycol) rather than automotive (ethylene Glycol) and not know that it was not toxic which is why the dog didn't die or suffer any ill effects.

I have to agree with MMagis that the risk is very low that one would have a leak on concrete that he couldn't dispose of the product or at least move the tractor to a dirt area and keep an eye on it till the spill was absorbed should he encounter a tire with automotive antifreeze. Lots of folks use WSW fluid that has methanol in it which is also very toxic if consumed (remember the old prohibition days when folks would drink rubbing alcohol and go blind)

Why did you use antifreeze intended for a radiator in a toilet? The make RV antifreeze that is supposedly nontoxic. Honestly I wouldn't worry about putting antifreeze in a tractor tire. What are the chances of the tire leaking while parked an concrete? By far the most likely chance of leaking would be caused by the tire being punctuated. This would mean you are very likely aware of the leak and on dirt. Why would you use that kind of antifreeze in a tractor tire anyway. RV antifreeze is much cheaper and would eliminate the issue.

the rv antifreeze is the PG style.

more or less 'safe ' for dogs...

it is hemoglobin toxic to cats...

The OP brought this up because another poster in that thread suggested it. I am a dog lover and I use iron weights solves all of these problems. Iron weights don't leak out and last a lifetime.

Plus dogs rarely eat them.
