Acetic Acid
別名: Vinegar, White vinegar
**What it is**: Acetic acid is the active ingredient in common household vinegar. **Why it's used**: * In cattle and sheep, it is an emergency treatment for urea poisoning. * In horses, it helps prevent the formation of intestinal stones (enteroliths). **Safety**: Always use standard household white vinegar (3-5%) unless specifically instructed otherwise by your veterinarian. Never use concentrated industrial acetic acid, as it is highly corrosive and dangerous. **Administration**: Due to its strong, unpleasant taste and potential to irritate the mouth and throat, it is usually administered directly into the stomach via a stomach tube by a veterinarian.
