This could possibly lead to toxicity causing gastrointestinal signs (vomiting/diarrhoea), depending on the amount ingested the severity of the signs can be different.

I would recommend an immediate veterinary check up and close monitoring for the next 24 hours (especially appetite and possibly diarrhoea or constipation).
