[RC] What exactly does Non-Toxic mean? - Stephanie E CaldwellSince Star's been getting iced every night I invested in some Cryopac Ice Cells to wrap under polos to ice her. Thus far she's been a good little girl and left her ice packs alone, until tonight. I usually do barn chores while she ices in her stall, tonight she chewed the top off of the Ice packs and tore my polo in several pieces. Called my vet and he said to call poison control. Looked the Cryopacs up online and found that for humans water should be given and vomitting induced. Call the vet back >ggg< and tell him that, he wants to give her 2 pints of mineral oil, then remembered that my mare eats anythign and said to dump it into grain and give her lots of fluids (apple juice, carrot juice, etc...) but no Elytes, you don't want to increase the acidity of the stomach. She seems to be fine now, but... I'll check her tomorrow. So, exactly what does non toxic mean? This chemical causes birth defects, breathing problems, stomach problems, etc... That is toxic in my book. Steph __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
