If the fake eyelash was small and soft it will likely easily pass and not cause any issue for Zeus. It would be unlikely that the eyelash would contain any toxins although not impossible so watch Zeus for any signs of illness. If he develops any vomiting, diarrhea, or a decreased appetite he should be examined by a veterinarian right away. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Zeus does not experience any issues!
