Before anyone asks yes I have rung the vets! They are trying to get through to the manufacturer but are having issues as the manufacturer has a fire alarm going off!!! It's a 1mg tablet and he is a 49kg dog. What are the dangers? He seems normal at the moment and at it 45 min ago

Glad he's okay, these things happen. I was dog sitting the other day and knocked a pencil off the table. In a second he was chomping it! I managed to get most of it off him but spent the next 6 hours panicking that he was going to hurt his stomach from the shards of wood :( He's fine though thank goodness.

How is he doing now?
Thankfully hes a big dog so that makes a big difference.At that dose range he should have no long term damaging side effects but may have some gi upset if hes very sensitive to the drug.

They always find something!
Contraceptive pills are another commonly ingested drug to be aware of.dogs seem to love them have had several ppl ring over that one!

He was fine in the end. Apparently the dangerous level is 5mg but he only had 1mg and he's a big dog. He vomited twice, and lost control of his inner eyelids, slept it off and was 100% back to normal. Bet did say had he been a tiny dog it would have been likely to be fatal. They told me to watch for aggression as it can make them aggressive so we shut him in the utility because we have a baby in the house. As it was he just slept for 5 hours. In case it happens to anyone else.... It took 5 hours for it to kick in. He ate the tablet at 9am and didn't show any symptoms until gone 2pm and was back to normal by 8

I'm glad he is okay, I feared the worst when I saw the thread topic. I must be particularly sensitive to it, I started feeling dizzy within about 1 hour of taking it, vomiting for several hours, racing heart and could hardly stand. Don't think I turned aggressive though ! I weigh more than 49 kg too. :) I am always paranoid now about dropping a tablet and the dogs picking it up.
