What are tests in hospital that can be run to test for Ethylene glycol
Woods lap for dye in some products of urine, mouth, and paws. Only in urine for ~6 hrs Kacey EG test strip for plasma: Lower limit is 20 mg/dl which is lethal dose for cats. Fals postiives with alcohol for blood draw, and propylene glycol React eG: bust be read within certain time frame, and high false positive Slide for some chem machines: does not cross react with propylene glycol
