Ethylene Glycol Test

Could you please tell me what the toxic concentration of ethylene glycol is in the blood of dogs and cats in either molarity or mg/dl. Do you know approximately how many EG tests are performed in a year? Thank you for your answer.

As far as how many tests per year...that may be a difficult question to answer since there are so many different labs that run the tests...I would check with the above link to see if that can help you

  The minimum lethal dose of undiluted EG is 1.4 mL/kg body wt in cats, 4.4 mL/kg body wt in dogs, 7-8 mL/kg body wt in poultry, and 2-10 mL/kg body wt in cattle (younger animals may be more susceptible).
