Guest sdaniw Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I know this was probably here before but I am still very worried, so I just wanted to ask again. Last night we went out for dinner and came home to find our dog Maddie had eaten part of a candle. Yesturday she seemed to be acting fine but this morning she didn't want to get up, only ate part of her food, then threw up, and now seems especially whiney. Should I be concerned? I am using one of my sick days to stay home with her b/c I am very nervous. Any advice? Besides that I am crazy for my dog. HEHEHE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'd call the vet and ask. Sending prayers she is ok! Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 make sure you let the vet know, if possible, what kind of candle wax she ate.

Greytlady94 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I would be very worried also since the wax could become impacted. I would get her to the vet.

MarcR Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 When I had Honey for about three months, she decided to snack on a candle while I was out. In her case, it was a plain white taper. She was fine (although it made for an interesting deposit the next morning). But if she's vomiting and not eating, I'd call the vet.

GreytNut Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Vet. The type of candle and materials used to make it would be the determining factor in whether or not it was toxic. A plain unscented beeswax candle... most likely okay. A paraffin candle with lots of colors and fragrances... maybe not. Since she's showing obvious discomfort, I'd err on the side of caution and take her in while you have the day off.
