My dog ate one of those packets of beads that come in shoe boxes. my dog is a yorkie...what could happen?

It will dehydrate him because they are designed to keep moisture out so give him plenty of water and take him to the vet asap. Good luck.

CALL YOUR VET, MAKE AN EMERGENCY VET HOSPITAL VISIT IMMEDIATELY. EVEN IF THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS, MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS OKAY. YORKIES ARE TOO CUTE TO LOSE TO IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP.

Reply:He ate the silica? The "do not eat" stuff? I would call poison control or your vet and see if you need to take him in.
Reply:I had a friend who ate a package of those when he was little. He started to throw up and stop breathing. They're extremely dangerous. Get the dog to the vet asap.

Reply:Those things that say "Toxic, do not ingest"? I'd call his vet.
Reply:You should call a vet or poison control, but what they are is silica gel. The silica gel goes in the package to absorb moisture from whatever is inside. Supposedly, it's only very harmful if say, the packet has absorbed something poisonous such as some human medication or toxic chemicals. Unlikely in a shoe box. Nevertheless, it can cause diarrhea %26amp; vomiting in your dog's system, which can dehydrate him/her. They'd have to eat a lot though in order to make them really really sick. My cat ate a whole packet once and the only consequence was some loose stools. So your best bet would be to call the vet and they will advise you on how to handle it.
Reply:ah im so so sorry that is terrible get the dog to the vet or call some pet poison control center. i hope your dogs better. i love yorkies so much mine just drowned a couple months ago so i hope your dog is healthy and stays with you forever :)
Reply:3 possibilyts he craps it out he throws it up or its stuck call vet they will give it xrays
Reply:It is silica gel, used to absorb moisture.





Call your vet ASAP to see if you need to get the dog to vomit it up.





If so, you'll need to get the dog to drink hydrogen peroxide. A syringe (without the needle) is the easiest way to introduce the H2O2.





Good luck!
