It depends on the ingredients of the chapstick. Regular or medicated chapstick is even more likely to contain difficult-to-pronounce, ingredients that could be toxic or harmful to Skye. I would call the Pet Poison Hotline at 855-764-7661 to give them the list of ingredients and they can inform you if any are toxic or not. Best of luck.
