It depends on the specific ingredients in the conditioner, but in most cases this does not cause significant problems. The problems are usually restricted to irritation of the stomach and intestines, which will cause vomiting and diarrhea. If he is vomiting profusely or otherwise acting strangely, then it will be best to take him to a vet for treatment. For more information about potential toxicity, you can call the ASPCA APCC: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control I hope that helps and all is well with Sirius.
