Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. The amount that Cody ingested is not likely to cause any abnormal side effects related to fluoride toxicity. I would monitor Cody for signs of lethargy, trembling, inappetance, seizures, restlessness, labored breathing or diarrhea and if these signs develop, take Cody in to be seen by a veterinarian immediately. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
