Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern! Sissy should be fine after coming in contact with the fake snow. Many formulations of the fake snow are non-toxic but if inhaled could definitely cause some irritation to the airway. If she continues to wheeze and this worsens I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. I would remove her from the room where the fake snow is and turn on the hot water in the bathroom and let the bathroom fill with steam. Keep her in the bathroom for 10-15 minutes in the steam and see if this helps. If not, I would get her seen by a vet sooner rather than later. I hope this helps and that she is improving! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!
