Melbourne: A critically ill Maltese terrier has been saved from near certain death by getting blind drunk, The Independent reported.
Charlie, the cat, was rushed to pet A&E by his owner after he licked up some anti-freeze from her garage floor in Mel-bourne, Australia.
Realising he was suffering from Ethylene Glycol poisoning, quick thinking vets began giving Charlie vodka through tubes into his nose a stomach.
The ethanol in vodka alters the chemical reaction that the coolant triggers when broken down in the liver preventing kidney failure, vets at Melbourne’s’ Animal Em-rgency said.
