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

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.
