interesting

Just FYI, there is an experimental treatment for dachshund paralysis: site injection of polyethylene glycol or PEG. You may recognize that name: it's the main ingredient of
antifreeze.

Interesting.....I haven't checked out the link yet, but on first glance, it's antifreeze BAD for doggies???? ( I know it is, but ya'll get my point). Must be one of those freak things where it can help instead of hurt....):scratch: Must read more.....

Just like botox is bad for people, but they still inject in in their face.
Very interesting info!

Ok, showing my ignorance here....I didn't know that botox was bad for people. I haven't researched it 'cause I don't think I would do it to myself (atleast not anytime in the near future)...thanks for the info. Otto's mom!!
