Description

Three of six cats kept in a house near an auto-repair shop died suddenly at December 16, 1883. Two of the other cats collapsed and died on the next day (No.1 and 2). The other one showed no clinical signs (No.3). No.1, 2, and 3 shhowed azotemia. No.1 got hypocalcemia. A marked deposition of crystals of calcium oxalate and a severe vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelium were observed in the renal tubules of No.1. Therefore, it was suspected that these cats might have been poisoned with ethylene glycole by ingestion of an antifreeze solution
