> OMG... SHE SOMEHOW GOT INTO MY MEDICINE BAG ABOUT 45 MINUTES AGO.. I HAVE 6 PACKETS OF 30 MG DISOLVABLE TABLETS.. SHE TORE 3 PACKETS OPEN, MOST OF IT WAS EATEN.. I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH SHE ATE... SHE JUST PASSED OUT ON MY BED.. SNORING LOUD AS CAN BE. SHE IS A 4 MONTH OLD ENGLISH BULLDOG, WEIGHS ABOUT 25 LBS. I CALLED ANIMAL POISON CONTROL, THEY WANTED $50 CONSULTANT FEE, I DONT HAVE MONEY FOR A VET UNTIL FRIDAY :( DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL FOR SURE KILL HER OR DOES SHE HAVE A CHANCE OF LIVING AND JUST SLEEP FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AND WAKE UP? PLEASE HELP!

It's not clear to me how much drug your dog was exposed to, i.e. how many tablets are in a packet? One? Ten?

The rat LD50 is xxx mg/kg, and your dog is over 11 kilos. Assuming similar toxicology, your dog would need to have ingested over xxx mg for a fatal dose. That said, respiratory depression is the biggest issue. If your dog's breathing is strong, then you should be somewhat reassured. In humans, respiration and heart function are monitored, and supported if required.

I know I come late to this issue, but I think your dog will be okay, if you got through the night okay.
