My husky puppy licked bed bug diatomaceous earth. Is she okay?

Question

My 5 weeks old husky pup, licked diatomaceous earth intended for bed bugs, i picked her immediately, so i hope they were just few licks. She puts everything in her mouth which is concerning. She is acting normal as of now. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 1 month and 8 days old | 54.3 lbs

The few licks of diatomaceous earth should not cause any toxic effects in your husky. Some farmers actually add this to livestock or horse food! I would just monitor your dog for GI upset, but I wouldn't expect any issues from a small amount of this product.
