Re: Sickness and diarrhea It's the phenol in it that causes the toxicity, apparently extremely dangerous for dogs and cats.
Re: Sickness and diarrhea That's news to me about TCP, will have to keep that in mine as my OH's dad uses it sometimes..
Re: Sickness and diarrhea Hope Elsie is getting better. I'd never heard about TCP being dangerous either.
Re: Sickness and diarrhea Much much better today, we put off going on holiday last night and will head off in the campervan tomorrow morning. Just wanted to make sure she was fit enough for the trip first and I think she now is. So will be off in the morning for a couple of weeks fun and by the looks of weather today rain ;D
Re: Sickness and diarrhea I was going to say it would probably be the phenol in it Good that you tracked down the cause. Poor Elsie, I hope she is back on form soon and you all have a lovely holiday. Just to point out - Calamine lotion also contains phenol, so another one to watch if you have that in the house.
Re: Sickness and diarrhea Glad you got to the bottom of it and I've learnt 2 things...calamine and tcp..sorry it's been at little Elsie's expense.hope she's over it now x
