I can see that Toxicology Tuesdays will have to get more difficult if I am going to stump this panel.<BR/><BR/>To clear up some questions: Dogs might voluntarily eat pills, cats usually have been given Tylenol by well-meaning owners. (Even a children's liquid dose is a no-no in cats!) Heinz body anemia does occur in some poisonings, just not this one, and as for the aspirin question, stay tuned. We will cover NSAIDs like aspirin in another post.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing our game,<BR/>~KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-47223973184227964992007-06-12T20:42:00.000-04:002007-06-12T20:42:00.000-04:00I know Tylenol is toxic for dogs & cats.

But would they want to eat it? My cats are partial to kitty food and little else, so I can't picture it unless it is attractive to them for some reason. Still, I'll have to keep a closer watch to make sure I don't leave the pills around.
