Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The Polysporin contents are not toxic. However, Willis may experience some transient vomiting or diarrhea. It would be more concerning if Willis ate part of or the whole tube as that could cause a intestinal obstruction. If you are still concerned, you may phone the Pet Poison Helpline: 1-855-764-7661. I hope this helps and best of luck to you and Willis!
