Toxic or Not?
Answer: Not toxic. Crayons are non-toxic, but dog owners may get a colorful surprise the next time they scoop the poop!

I'm happy to answer your general pet questions. Please remember, I cannot diagnose or prescribe medications for a pet on-line, and I will not criticize or second-guess the way another vet has handled a case.
That being said, feel free to e-mail me at KatDocsWorld1@verizon.net

Not. Just colorful poo.
Hmmm-toxic? I would guess not, but I bet all that wax (or whatever) causes a belly ache or upset tummy.
KatDoc--I have a question about a specific plant that I wonder if it is toxic. I would love you email you a pic. Send me an email at dfwenger AT gmail DOT com if you agree.
My kids ate them...no, not toxic.
Crayola doesn't have lead like some imported crayons of the past, but has been found to have trace amounts of asbestos from the talc used to make them break resistant. Children could get it into their lungs if they chewed on them. Overall, I'd say non-toxic except for the possibility of asbestos exposure...but doubt a dog or cat would be affected. Kathy
Yeah, that was an easy one, but a common question in practice. I didn't know about lead in imported crayons or asbestos in talc, though. Thanks, Kathy, for that input.
I have to throw in some non-toxic things every now and then, or you will just guess "toxic" to every post!

Yes, we like you to keep us on our toes! Kathy
