PET HELP!!!!!

Apr 16, 2008 13:29

My dad's refinishing the floors at home (all oak), and he decided that rather than use the more common and nasty finishes that you get at lowes or whereever, he'd use Taung Oil (I'm likely misspelling that). It's supposed to be a much safer finish, in addition to looking far nicer. Unfortunately, one of our three great danes in not reacting well. Despite the windows being opened until about 7:00p.m. yesterday (first, and now last day of the product being used), he's showing all the symptoms of fume inhalation toxicity. He started this last night, not long after the windows were shut, so we opened the windows again, turned on the fans, and tried to air the house out as best we could. I took him outside for about an hour, to just let him breath. But last night the temperatures dropped down to the thirties, so the windows really had to be closed, which we did at about 10:30p.m. This morning, as soon as it warmed up again, Dad opened the windows again and turned the fans back on. And while Dogwood has improved a little bit from last night (his heartrate's down, he isn't shivering, his eyes aren't dialated, and he's a little tiny bit more alert), he still isn't doing well. The vet really had no advice short of "keep an eye on him. It sounds like an allergic reaction." So I'm flat out begging, if anyone has any advice or experience or anything, please, please let me know. I'm really worried about him.
