It sounds like your dog has ingested more Trazodone than is typically recommended and may be at risk for potential side effects. It’s important to monitor your dog closely and take action if any concerning symptoms arise.
- Monitor your dog for any unusual behavior or symptoms.
- Contact a vet immediately if your dog shows signs of distress.
- Keep all medications securely out of reach of pets.
Trazodone is often used in veterinary medicine to help treat anxiety and other issues in dogs, but the dose your dog has ingested may lead to adverse effects, such as sedation or, in severe cases, more serious symptoms like a high heart rate or agitation. If you notice anything unusual, contacting your veterinarian promptly is essential. They can provide guidance specific to your dog’s size and health condition.
