If you take in a very small amount of citronella essential oil - is it poisonous?
We believe our 10-yr old Female Dauschund ate an "unknown" amount of a Citronella Candle that had melted from the heat. We were not aware that she had eaten the candle until we got home and found what we considered to be an "accident" on the floor, then later in the evening found a small spot on the couch...these "accidents" appeared to be a waxey substance. The next evening we found a few more sporatic spots of this waxey substance.....that lead us to looking at the rear-ends of all 3 of our dogs.....that is when we saw the same substance on our Dauschund. After putting our heads together, my husband and I finally figured out she must have eaten some of the melted citronella candle that had been sitting outside- we immediately picked it up. Mind you, my Dauschund, as well as most, will eat anything at anytime, all the time. Fortunately, our Dauschund appears to be doing fine. We made a point to give her extra food for a couple days to help push out any remaining candle substance. Eventhough she does not seem to have reacted badly to the Citronella Candle, we will continue to watch her closely. This is the fourth day from first noticing the substance and our dog is doing ok. So, based on my particular situation, I would have to say that Citronella is not poisonous - - and I thank God for that.
