Poisoned puppy cured by getting drunk on a bottle of vodka
DOWNING VODKA USUALLY results in more harm than good, but not for this Maltease pup.
Poor little terrier Charlie was left with hours to live after he found some coolant in owner Jacinta Rosewarne’s garage and decided to have a taste.
Vets in Melbourne concluded that the little dog may suffer from kidney failure as a result of ethylene glycol poisoning, and the only treatment was to get him completely locked.

The vodka binge saved little Charlie’s life, altering the antifreeze chemicals so that they can be easily flushed out of his system. Such treatment is the only antidote for such poisoning in Australia. Charlie was administered 700ml of vodka over two days via a tube through his nose and then intravenously.
The Animal Accident & Emergency took to their blog to reassure everyone that Charlie was doing well after his big weekend, saying that he had a “huge party” in the Pet ICU.
His owner Rosewarne told the Herald Sun that her terrier was “definitely drunk” after the liquor hit.
But all’s well that ends well. Charlie went home after his two day treatment, still nursing a hangover.
Never again, poor pet.
