If you own a Basset Hound then you’re probably familiar with how much they like to explore and get into things especially when they think they can eat them. Puppies, in particular, like to put everything in their mouth even if it’s not good for them. No matter how hard you try to dog proof your home, your Basset will probably find a way to get into something he shouldn’t. For instance, have you ever had your Basset eat a crayon? If your pup does eat a crayon call your vet. It’s important to know if the crayon is non-toxic. Most crayons are and they will say so on the box or the crayon’s individual paper. Your Basset will most likely be fine after eating one crayon. However, you will need to watch his bowel movements as constipation may occur. Call your vet Raritan, NJ if your Basset appears to be constipated or getting sick.
