Post subject:  Polyurethane Glue Poison To Pets
I thought I would post this warning that the ASPCA came out with today, regarding polyurethane glue and our pets. Seems pretty obvious that you wouldn't want your pets eating glue, but you never know how they find ways to get into things. Here's their posting:

Polyurethane glue—also known by brand names like Gorilla Glue and Elmer’s Pro-Bond—is prized for its ability to bond to wood. If eaten, however, the glue expands in the stomach’s warm, moist environment and forms a softball-sized lump. A dog who eats even a small amount of MDI-based adhesive can experience severe gastrointestinal problems resulting in blockages and requiring emergency surgery to remove the mass.
Pet parents should treat any expanding adhesive as a potential hazard, since the offending chemical MDI is not always listed on product labels. Like all toxic household products, wood glue should be stored in a secure cabinet to prevent your furry beloveds from coming into contact with it. If you think your pet may have ingested polyurethane glue, please call your vet or the ASPCA’s 24-hour poison hotline at (888) 426-4435.

Thanks for posting this. Any reminder to be more mindful is welcome, especially when it involves the health of our little friends. (or big friends)
