Silica Gel Toxicity to Dogs

Whether silica gel is toxic to dogs
There are doubts about whether silica gel is toxic to dogs. Silica gel is often used as a desiccant. If dogs eat it, people are more worried about its harm to the dog.

Silica gel is mostly bead-shaped, chemically stable, insoluble in water and most solvents. Although the appearance or the dog is curious and eats it, it is not harmful to the dog's digestive tract.

The common silica gel desiccant, after ingesting it by mistake, the dog may have no obvious discomfort. Because it is not absorbed, it is mostly excreted in the feces. However, there are also concerns that if the dog eats a large amount of silica gel, it may cause obstruction of the digestive tract. When the digestive tract is obstruction, the dog can see vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and poor defecation.

If a dog eats silicone by mistake, the owner should observe its state first. If there is no abnormality, you can be a little relieved, pay attention to the feces, and check whether the silicone is discharged. If you see a dog with the above discomfort, take the dog to the doctor as soon as possible, and take professional methods to protect the dog's health. In short, silicone is usually low toxic to dogs, but a large amount of ingestion still needs to be treated with caution and must not be ignored.
