It should not be consumed. Warnings:
For external use only. Do not apply to irritated skin. If rash occurs discontinue use. Keep out of children's reach to avoid drinking and accidental inhalation which can cause serious injury. Should breathing problems occur, consult a doctor immediately. http://www.drugstore.com/qxp10779_333181_sespider/johnsons_baby/baby_oil_original.htm

This will depend upon its composition - some mineral oil (baby oil) is food grade and can safely be consumed in small quantities. However, most of the baby oil on sale commercially, such as at department stores and groceries, is not food grade and thus may be toxic.

Also, be aware that medical grade mineral oil is available to veterinarians and is used as a laxative to help pass intestinal blockages in horses and other animals. Feeding baby oil to dogs is likely to have the same effect (ie, copious amounts of soft stool/diarrhea within a few hours of consumption), in addition to any toxic effects that may occur.

For the most part, no, mineral oil isn't toxic. However, large animals may cause nausea and vomiting, and it generally makes the feces appear oily.

He will die in 2-4 hours, if 1oz has been ingested. Baby oil contains tricristocyl which is a slight sedative to dogs which slows their heartbeat and they forget to breath.

Can disinfectant kill fleas?

Dish liquid, particularly Dawn Dish Liquid is useful in killing fleas on both dogs and cats. It is particularly recommended for animals too young for flea medication and shampoos. Dish liquid, however, can be irritable to the skin and should only be used if necessary. When using any dish liquid, the animal should be rinsed several times with water to make skin irritation less noticeable. On a dog, no. It can cause irritation and will not kill the eggs. Try dog flea shampoo or even baby shampoo
