Oh Trixie is a cutie! So the main concern with most artificial nail glues really is just if they get enough in their eyes or on their lips to glue them closed. Since it doesn't sound like this occurred trixie will likely be ok. But there are many different types of nail adhesive so you can always call aspca poison control to read them the exact ingredients in the type trixie chewed on. They will be able to then give you specific advice. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control
