I am sorry to hear of Honey's dietary indiscretion! I can imagine this is very stressful for you. I do not see anything in the ingredient list that immediately concerns me as a toxin. Without knowing how much Honey actually ate it is difficult to know what to expect. I would monitor her carefully do signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you notice changes in her energy levels that would also be concerning. If you notice any of these symptoms, or anything else that concerns you then please do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian.

    From that ingredient list I think Honey will be fine. She may have mild GI upset from just eating abnormal food for her. If you want to be extra cautious you can contact the ASPCA pet poison hotline as they are the most up to date source for pet poisoning a.
