He will probably get sick. You should take him to a vet right away. He might just have indigestion or he may need his stomach pumped. You have to keep your animal contained and out of harms way.

He will most likely have an upset stomach, like very irregular bowl movements. It a very rare case it could lead to death due to the chemicals that roofing has when first attached in order to ward of moss and other deteriorating bacterias.

Thank you for your reasonable reply. I don't know if he had an upset stomach, but he didn't change his regular eating habits, and I didn't notice any change in his bowels either: luckily. Maybe we will get lucky this time! What are the chemicals in it??? add a comment
