My dog ate paracetamol. What should I do if my dog ingested it?

Question

My 19Kg 2 year old Border Collie just ate two 500mg caplets of NUMARK paracetamol what should I do?!

Dr. Massimo Orioles, DVM, Cert AVP, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

In dogs high doses (100mg/kg body weight) are needed to induce toxicity - which results in liver and kidney failure and other side effects. The dosage your Border Collie ingested should be relatively safe (50mg/kg), but I would strongly recommend a check up anyway to give gastroprotectants medications and reduce gastrointestinal absorption.
