| HELP! Advice needed Hi there, Riley had some how got his paws on one of those gel packet things that comes in new items like handbags, shoes etc. He had chewed the packet open (there was blood on it btw), and the little clear balls were all over. Do you think that I should go to a vet or anything? Does anyone know if they are toxic etc.... Any sort of thoughts might help! Thanks!!!! Krissy |

| I hope this helps i just found this on another post. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is what I found. [Did You Know…The statement “DESSICANT- DO NOT EAT” commonly found on the little packets of silica gel contained in medications, leather goods, certain pasta products and vitamins is not really as ominous as it sounds? Silica gel is used to absorb moisture in many different products, and is usually packaged in plastic cylinders or paper packets. Silica gel is also used in certain cat litters for the same purpose. While it is indeed true that it is not meant for consumption, with most ingestions silica gel produces only mild stomach upset which typically resolves with minimal to no treatment. If very large quantities are eaten, however, such as with ingestions of multiple packets or mouthfuls of kitty litter, intestinal obstruction is a possibility- especially in very small animals
