OMG Milo ate a quater of a crayon!

[Mil0Luv3r]

I was drawing and the top of my crayon broke off so I just throw it on my floor to sweep up later.. Then all of a sudden I heard "CRUNCH"! And I looked down and he was eating the half of the crayon! And he has never ate one of the crayon halfs that I have thrown on the floor before... Then I went and checked his food and water and the dog had gotten into it so he had no food or water.. But now I'm worried about him... I have never had one of my cats/kittens eat a crayon before! So I just gave him food and water just incase he trys to drink Shampoo!

But will the Crayon piece hurt him because I'm VERY worried about him I have never had one of my pets eat a crayon..

I think crayons are non-toxic, but you can try the Nation Poison Center: http://www.poison.org/ Just in case...

Did you check on the link NoahsMommy gave you for the poison center?

Re the water bowl and food bowl being empty, I wouldn't like to think that he was trying to eat crayons because he was SO hungry Could you maybe try get a big food and water dispenser so there will always be food and water available, or try to put the cats food up high somewhere, so the dog can't get to it?

How is the cat doing now?

My 2 dogs once at a box of 100 crayons. I was picking up technicolor poop for about a week but otherwise they were unaffected. The kids learned real quick that they couldn't leave the crayon box on the floor.

Since crayons are often manufactored for children also, I figure it's made of a non-toxic substance. I would give the vet a call though, just to be on the safe side.

Friends of mine have the same problem with the food. The three dogs would always eat the cats' food, so the kitties are eating on the kitchen counter now. There is no other way since the dogs are so greedy.

OMG!!! I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but LOL@this.

My Miniature Yorkshire Terrier Dog chewed on a Crayola Marker (Neon Blue) one time. He broke through the plastic and was chewing on the sponge. It was a fairly new marker mind you...

Every morning my mom would pooper scoop his poo so that it would keep the yard clean. Sometimes it was a bit hard figuring out where he did his business since he would kinda run ahead of her and go in the tall weeds. The morning after he chewed the marker, when he did his business in the alley in the weeds, she had absolutely no problem locating the bright blue poo in those tall weeds.

He got teased a lot for that

There is a toll free number on all the pages of that site. Can you call them or your vet to be sure??

I feed Milo in my room... But when I went to go get Milo for bed Lady(my dog)must of slipped in my room and ate his food and knocked over his water or drank his water.... Lady does it alot she did it to Snickers and we tried moving him she still got to it and we put his food up high but that didn't help either... She does it with Mama'Kitty and now she is doing it with Milo.... Lady has even takin' food out of my 2 yr old cousin Kimmy's hand! I love Lady but I have to admit she is a greedy,begging,food snatching,jelous, getting into food,and alot more... I love her but sometimes she does get on my nervouse like when she eats MY food from Buds or something.... She has even aten' all of my dads food before! And she is pretty big for her age... If you haven't seen what she looks like here she is:

And here is Shy Siemese little Miss Independent Mama'Kitty:


She may not look Siemese but she is..

Yes, I know but the only phone I do have is a Home Phone... My brother has a Cell Phone.... I don't really care for a Cell Phone.. And on my phone I can only call my Parents and my Brother which really stinks...

If they're Crayola they are safe. The wax in them may act as "kitty lube", though.

[stacwase]

hehehe - I don't think you have anything to worry about! My children have done the same thing. I second the comment about "technicolor poop" - really pretty in a diaper!

[Jods]

put the food on your dresser so she can't reach
or get your dad to build something so she can't reach if she can reach your dresser

A 1-800 number would be a free call . . . why couldn't you call it?
