It depends on what was in the packet. Some of those packets can be toxic. If it was Silica Gel she may be fine. I suggest you take Cosmo to the vet as soon as possible or call the Pet Poison Helpline for assistance. You may have to call the manufacturer of the dog treats and find out what is in the packet.
