You could call the doggie poison hotline and ask about it. They are very helpful. They have a vet on the line for you 24 hrs a day. It's run by the ASPCA and the number is (888) 426-4435. They say on the web site and on the message when you first call that a $55 charge may be required, but when I called they didn't ask for anything and I got thru to a vet right away.

My Pookie managed to lick off the outside of a prescription sleeping pill, and I was quite alarmed of course. But the vet on the poison hotline told me it has the opposite effect as in humans. It makes them agitated and she would show signs within an hour of ingesting anything. Well, the pill was dry when I found it, just the outside was licked off. So we had no idea when she got ahold of it. But we saw no ill effects from it. Last night, again she found a capsule (under my bed where I was flat on my back for months with sciatic pain, and was trying to pour meds into my hand while lying flat on my back). She had dissolved a small portion of the outer capsule, but hadn't gotten too much of the contents. She hasn't shown any ill effects from that either. Whew! I've checked under our bed with a mag lite, but I'm going to have to do it again, obviously.
