A. Get him to drink some milk and do not induce vomiting. Depending on how much bleach he drank, you may want to go to the emergency room. I drank bleach when I was little and I was OK.

How long does it take to show signs that a dog ingested antifreeze?
Q. I know vomiting and drunkenness can result within 30 minutes, but when do you know if kidney and renal failure start? How long before a dog shows signs of kidney pain and failure? I am trying to see if a friend's dog died as a result to antifreeze poisoning. Not my own and there isn't a dog in question that might have ingested antifreeze.. I am curious. Also if you could provide a timeline of signs and symptoms of it, that would be great.

A. Call the emergency vet and ask them. Make sure to keep an eye on kitty and see if she's exhibiting any unusual behavior - lethargy, foaming at the mouth, etc. Anything like that and you haul her to the vet no matter what they said. Easymac79: foaming at the mouth is a common symptom when cats (or other animals) ingest poisonous materials. Look it up.

How long does it take for chilled ingested food to become body temperature?
Q. There is the suggestion that when you ingest combined hot and cold foods that the cooler foods cause any fat to gel in your digestive system. So, it is not healthy to drink ice tea with a meal of steak with a loaded baked potato. I am not sure this is even factual. However, I was wondering how long it takes cold foods to become body temperature, just in case!
Asked by caillet - Thu May 13 18:01:45 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. an interesting question but the premise is faulty. It takes many hours for food to pass through your digestive system. That's more than plenty of time for the food to warm up. If the idea was correct you could just eat ice cream all day long and not gain a pound.

Does the metabolism of ingested lipids and fats yield a net gain of water to the human body?
Q. Complete oxidation of fats must yield a net gain of water? This is perhaps the reason that hibernating animals, bears, etc, do not die of dehydration?
Asked by n_udoh - Sun Dec 23 23:46:44 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes. Even though it takes water to hydrolyze the fatty acid to acetyl-CoA, water is generated when the acetyl-CoA are subsequently oxidized. The overall equation for the complete oxidation of palmitic aid is: palmitate + 23 O2 + 129Pi + 129ADP ---> 16CO2 + 145 H2O + 129ATP

What can maintenance procedures are immediately done when a bird is ingested in an Airbus 319 engine?
Q. Hello! I am presently research on the maintenance procedures done if a bird damages three or more blades inside the turbofan of an Airbus 319. It's similar to an accident that happened in our country, fortunately, the plane landed safely. Anyway, can anyone provide insights on what is to be done to repair the "broken" blades? What good references can be used for the procedures done? Will NDT be involved? Thanks!

A. The 319 has CFM56 engines hanging on it, but the basics pretty much apply to all jet engines. FIrst, what is the flight crew write-up pertaining to the strike? If the engine didn't have unusual vibrations, didn't have a compressor stall, and the EGT (exhaust gas temp) were all normal, they probably would only have to do a visual inspection of the fan and core engine/splitter area (area separating the bypass air from the core air). An exhaust inspection would also be performed. They may be required to borescope (internal view of some compressor stages performed through some borescope ports in the compressor case using a fiberoptic view of the internals) Examine the VBV's (variable bleed valves) looking for damage or evidence of birds. … [cont.]

What should I do to my puppy who might've ingested a few small thinly sliced pieces of onion?

A. i wouldnt worry about the puppy eating onion as long as its not a huge amount of onion he should be fine. now if your puppy eats anything of an abnormal amount of something toxic then you need to force hydrogen peroxide down their throat. that will help them vomit to get the toxins out of their body.the hydrogen peroxide just helps. call your dogs doctor if you are not trusting of this but its wha tmy sisters vet told her.

Is what is found inside a battery toxic or dangerous if ingested by a dog?
Q. I'm hoping some of you with understanding in this area can clear something up (I tried to google it, but not a lot of luck.) The dog section gets a lot of questions about people's dogs eating a double A battery or similar. Usually, the responses that follow are "OMG battery acid will KILL any living thing." Now is this at all true? What risks are there with a dog ingesting what is found inside the battery?

What are the chances of a COOKED bone hurting a dog when ingested?
Q. Does anybody really know? I know it is dangerous to some extent, but my parents insist on feeding dogs them, despite me telling them this. We've never had a problem with any of our dogs getting hurt from it (that I know of anyways). Are they just lucky, or are the chances of a cooked bone splintering pretty small? Anybody have any statistics? That's what I'm looking for.

A. I think the chances are pretty small...because tons of people have been doing it for centuries. But there's enough instances where I won't do it. Nobody will have statistics, if they do they're made up BS...how could you ever come close to proving percentages in something like that? Also I think dogs get perforations more than one would think, we just forget that they're designed for the abuse. Desert tortoises eat cacti, spines and all, and river otters eat some really gnarly spined fish.

What cleaning products are fatal if ingested?
Q. There are so many cleaning products out there now. Most of the "green" ones are way too expensive. But do they have chemicals in them that are harmful to children or pets?
Asked by Theia - Sat Feb 7 14:30:39 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most of the regular spray cleaners are various soaps and detergents with water and coloring. probably not very toxic, but still should not be consumed. Worst ones would be things like sodium hydroxide (lye, drain & oven cleaners), sulfuric acid (drain cleaners), hydrochloric acid (lime removers, concrete etchant, etc). phenol and phenol derivatives (disinfectants, Lysol), thiourea, (Tarnex) sulfamic acid (toilet bowl cleaners, coffee percolater cleaner), methyl alcohol (gas line anti freeze) [not a cleaner, but frequently found around the house and no andidote]. I suspect that just because something is "green" doesn't necessarily mean it is harmless if consumed. If you have young children, it would be better to keep all such products,… [cont.]
