I noticed Dutch sniffing about the kitchen. A minute later, there was a single tab of Advil on the carpet. Pill was fully intact but it had clearly been in his mouth bc the outer coating was decaying. Obviously I removed it but it is possible (although unlikely) that he found another one and swallowed it. Probably not bc I am extremely diligent about patrolling the floors for pills and it is unlikely that more than 1 would have slipped by me, but it is possible.

He is acting as usual and it has been about 15 minutes. At what point can I assume that he's okay? Said differently, if he had eaten one, how long would it be before I would notice a problem and need to call poison control?

Thanks.
