Yes. Exposure can cause serious illness and needs prompt veterinary attention.

How vets treat it

Immediate veterinary consultation is required; surgery is often necessary to remove the expanded foreign body from the stomach.

Why it's dangerous

When ingested, the glue reacts with stomach acid and rapidly expands into a large, firm foam mass, causing a foreign body obstruction in the gastrointestinal tract.

Toxic compound: diisocyanate

Good to know

The glue expands significantly upon contact with moisture in the stomach, creating a life-threatening blockage that cannot be passed naturally.
