Your dog may have ingested an unknown amount of Galliprant, a medication used to manage pain and inflammation in dogs. It's important to monitor her closely for any signs of distress and act quickly to ensure her safety.
- Watch for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
- Contact your vet immediately for guidance.
- Keep all medications out of reach in the future to prevent accidental ingestion.
Galliprant is generally well-tolerated but consuming too much can be harmful. Symptoms of an overdose may include gastrointestinal upset and less commonly, more serious effects. Collect any remaining pills and the bottle, and contact your veterinarian as soon as possible with this information. They will be able to give you specific advice based on your dog's size and health history.
