I called the ASPCA Poison Hotline today.
I was cleaning and emptied a shoe box with all the excess paper and that packet they put in evey shoe box that says Silica Gel Do Not Eat. Well guess who tried to eat it? Rudy
I didn't know he had it, I thought I had thrown it out and I saw he had something in his mouth and sure enough it was that. He had chewed thru the paper and about 3/4 of the pebbles inside were gone. I had the magnet on my refrigerator and that's the lst thing I thought of, to call them. The vet was very nice that I talked to, he said it was not poisonous and not a serious sitution unless he had injested the packet whole. Which he didn't, Thank God. The vet also said it's either ground up glass or sand in those packets and it will eventually come out.
If Rudy would have injested the whole packet the vet said, then it would have been serious because it would have caused an obstruction. They did not charge me for the phone call to them.
Just wanted to let everyone know, in case anything like this happens to their Yorkies/dogs. I love him dearly but today I could have strangled him.
