Crayons...Toxic?
 

Say your dog got into a pack of Crayola crayons and ate like half a crayon. What kind of negative effects might that have on a dog, if any?

I take that back it was more than just half a crayon. I found the remains of blue and red behind the couch. So half of green, blue, and Red.


I'm hold hold waiting to talk to someone at the vets office.

Ok we're good. Never mind. Freak out over. Turns out they won't hurt her, just need to watch her and make sure she doesn't have any trouble passing stools.

Didn't think she would snatch the box of crayons right off the table like that and run. Definitely need to make sure she is gated in a separate area when the kiddo is coloring.

I used to chew on crayons as a kid and I turned out all right... Eating paste plugs ya up though

I think crayons are non-toxic. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/smile.png You may see some colorful poop though. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/wink.png

I'm pretty sure Krista is right...I want to say it says so on the box. Let us know if there's rainbow poop http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/smile.png

Yeah I know it says its non toxic on the box. didn't know if that applied to dogs or not. But I do now. Turns out I talked to my husband after I talked to the vet, and turns out sasha had a crayon 2 weeks ago when he was off of work and she was fine. So this wasn't the first time this happened

yeah colorful poops may happen.

i beleive crayons are colored wax they okay. who hasn't eaten a crayon http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/lol.gif

ha ha ha my sisters dog has eaten so many freakin crayons....if they were toxic, she would be dead trust me...it's like...she searches for them on the floor!!!

Colorful poos are usually the end result of that one, though if your dog ingests a large number of crayons, it may causes blockages and at that point it's vet time

Oh yeah Lily has eaten crayons, oil pastels, oil sticks.... um yeah, life with the art girl. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/redface.png
Before Scout came to me, she and Chico got into some acrylic paints..... had to cut a big hunk out of her fur to get it out. Bleh.

She'll be fine,my kid eats crayons all the time. She especially likes green.http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/lol.gif

Enjoy the colorful poo.
