My name is Bianca, also known as Princess Bianca or Miss B.  I may be small, but I am full of personality.  You can even ask my mom who saw me at just 5 weeks old, and knew she just had to have me!

Most automotive antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which is highly toxic to animals and humans and can produce life-threatening kidney damage, even in small amounts.  

Unfortunately, the sweet smell and taste of antifreeze is appealing to animals.  Just one tablespoon of 50-50 diluted antifreeze can be lethal to a 10-pound cat, and as little as 4 ounces could be fatal to a 20-pound dog.  Leaks on driveways, in parking lots, on farms, and in natural areas like parks and campgrounds can easily contain enough ethylene glycol to kill both domestic and wild animals who ingest the sweet fluid. 

For many years, pet owners have inevitably been faced with a difficult scenario: “My dog is having trouble getting up and moving.” What do you do when your best friend and constant companion is lagging behind on walks or has difficulty rising in the morning? What if they have suffered trauma and are having mobility issues due to injury? The tried and true methodology in most instances would be rest and medication. But what if it persists? What would a human being do in a similar situation?

Anyone who has been around horses for a while will have at least one story that defies logical explanation.  If you don’t, then you are probably just smarter than me.  That being said, I have always been intrigued by communicating with animals.
