Hello. Since Luna just ate the chapstick & not any of the plastic, he will be fine. There is nothing toxic in the chapstick, but it may give him a loose stool for a day or so. But otherwise, not too much to worry about. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Butterscotch should be fine. You may see some vomiting or diarrhea in the next 24 hours but I doubt it. If he does and it lasts longer than 24 hours I would seek veterinary attention. Kisses to Butterscotch!

    Yo may see some GI upset in the form of vomiting and/or diarrhea in the next 24-48 hours. Feed a bland diet until it resolves if necessary. See your vet of you notice extreme lethargy or loss of appetite.

    You may see some vomiting and/or diarrhea in the next 12-24 hours. You can withhold food for 8-12 hours then feed a bland diet until any GI upset resolves. See your vet if Buster develops, extreme lethargy, loss of appetite or does not stop vomiting/diarrhea.
