I am sorry that we weren't able to get to your question sooner. In these situations its always best to call poison control to get guidance on whether or not you need to seek veterinary care. They have a huge database with info on what active ingredients are present, etc etc. In the future, call ASPCA animal poison control at 888-426-4435. There is a fee, but the information can be life-saving. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
