Izzy the yorkie pup (1 year old) ate a packet of silica gel, likely found on the floor in easy child's room - she's a shopaholic.
So, I called the animal poison control and they wanted $60 billed to a credit card!! I went on line and discovered that it's likely harmless, but many people suggested giving her milk or another liquid she would drink up fast to be absorbed by the silica and then *hopefully* poop out later.
Another group of people suggested giving her a bit of hydrogen peroxide to make her puke it up. We opted for the milk method.
Anyone ever experienced this? She's only 5lbs and the emergent vet are the ones who instructed us to contact animal poison control, though she did say it was likely harmless and nothing to worry about.
