Our boxer ate a little bit of soft wall plaster...probably about a spoonful. Is this dangerous in small doses?

Question

A follow up to this...it has been a few days now since she ate the plaster/spackle. I did some research into the issue and found some other dogs that has eaten plaster and were fine. This website lists it as a non-toxic item to dogs:

She ended up being fine. She was lethargic for a day or two, but now she is back to herself again....which is being crazy. I also learned that you can burn toast and give it to your dog as activated charcoal to absorb toxins...in case someone else out there runs into this.

Thanks to all for your concern & advice.
