BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Exotic Pets Winter Blizzards - Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Are you prepared if a winter blizzard should strike? Do you have pets or exotic pets that are susceptible to frigid temperatures? Are you prepared to protect your pets from the cold? Do you understand carbon monoxide poisoning; it can kill animals, as well as humans, a silent but deadly killer. I lost a son to carbon monoxide poisoning, please don't be caught unaware.

Have you had person experience with carbon monoxide?

Winter Blizzards - Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

I am so sorry about your son. How did he die if I may ask?

I know my bearded dragon needs to keep warm. Also my sun conures birds are also real sensitive to toxins. I would imagine they would die very quickly if there was carbon monoxide in the air, even a little. Very good and timely article.

He slept in a travel trailer when he was a teenager. The winter had been brutally cold, then there was a 70 degree day in February. The snow and ice melted but that night went well below freezing again. Ice formed over the vents. I had just gotten out of the hospital a couple of days before from neck surgery. I also had breast cancer. My folks had left there trailer there, they lived in California and came out during chemo to help me with the kids. They let him use the trailer as his own pad. We had the gas company come out before I let him stay out there, everything had been fine. The trailer passed with flying colors. He died in his sleep.

Wasn't able to finish the story, my daughter is on the phone.
