Abstract
Ingestive responses of 50 rats and 4 gastric-cannulated dogs to ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (AF) were found to be inversely related to concentration. The antifreeze was never preferred to water. Do thirsty animals that encounter weak AF solutions drink them solely for their water content, water-related oral tactile sensations, or both, being inadvertently poisoned in the process?
