We found silicon powder on the floor and a broken bag. We think Finn might have eaten some. What can happen?

Have you called your vet yet!?
I'm not aware of what silicon powder will do, but you really do *need* to call the vet.

It's poison. Yes, call your vet. He may want to pump her stomach or maybe induce vomitting. How worrying. Was it one of those little bags they put in things to keep moisture out? Do you think most of the contents was on the floor? I hope he didn't ingest it. Let us know.

Yes. It was in a shoe box.

A lot of it was on the floor. We don't know if he ate any at all, but he ripped the bag open.

We phoned, and the vet told us not to worry. So far he's alive and kicking. And biting everything in sight, as usual.

Good!

Oh good...glad to hear that. He probably didn't get any. Those things are really dangerous. I had a bag of beef jerky and I couldn't believe they put one of those in there! What if someone ate it by accident? I mean....that would be pretty unlikely, but I suppose if someone were drunk or something.....I can't believe they put it in a food item. And beef jerky doesn't need to be all dried out anyhow.
