I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BUT I DID FIND THIS INFO FOR YOU. JUST IN CASE YOU SHOULD ALSO SPEAK TO YOUR VET...
its silica gel.
Silica gel packets are found in boxes of new shoes and purses and
sometimes in medicine bottles.
• Silica gel is a drying agent, meant to take the humidity out of the object in which it is placed
• Silica gels are a form of silicon dioxide, which is basically the same
material as sand
• Silica gel is non-toxic meaning that it is not poisonous if eaten, but all packages say,” DO NOT EAT,” because it is not food!
• Even though silica gel is not harmful if ingested, it can still be harmful as a choking hazard. If a small child or animal were to put the silica gel packet in his/her mouth, it could easily become lodged in the throat and cause choking.
unless the child starts to have trouble breathing then they should be fine
but get the packet away from them now!!
