@dannalynne
The question is... What is wrong with your dog?? What is the reason for giving sulfur powder orally??
@ceannix
it doesn't mean that sulfur is hazardous to dogs if it was not stated that it should not be given orally..

So here is a brief explanation behind to the TS question..

Sulfur is known to be of low toxicity, and poses very little if any risk to human and animal health. Short-term studies show that sulfur is of very low acute oral toxicity and does not irritate the skin (it has been placed in EPA Toxicity Category IV, the least toxic category, for these effects). Sulfur also is not a skin sensitizer. However, it can cause some eye irritation, dermal toxicity and inhalation hazards.
When taken orally, it has a mild laxative action. It may cause irritation of skin and the mucous membranes. Sulfur is considered a skin and eye irritant. Acute exposure inhalation of large amounts of the dust may cause catarrhal inflammation of the nasal mucosa which may lead to hyperplasia with abundant nasal secretions. Trachiobronchitis is a frequent occurrence, with dyspnea, persistent cough and expectoration which may sometimes be streaked with blood.

Hope this helps...
