I just had a deck built of pressure treated wood and latready regret it. It was a matter of money. What I did not realize was the amount of wood dust and shavings that would be left behind. I have a dog and a cat. I am particularly worried about the cat licking off the wood dust and ingesting it and the dog licking her paws and digging. The dog is much larger and I can keep her out most of the time. I am trying to find out what problems the cat would display if he was being affected. I gather that cancer is a concern but where?? and what kind? What about other symptoms. My vet does not seem to know anything and I am surprised because it seems no one else has ever asked her about this. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Christine
