Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Bourbon will likely be fine. The material on the toothbrush may cause irritation in the mouth so I would recommend rinsing his mouth out with water for starters. I would monitor for any other symptoms such as vomiting, gagging, abdominal pain, lethargy, etc. If you want to contact ASPCA poison control hotline, the number is 888-426-4435 They can help you further in regards to toxin ingestion. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
