You should never give this medication or any other that contain Ibuprofen to your dog as it is toxic, doses as low as 5mg/pound could potentially be toxic to Nina. The amount you gave her is not likely to cause a severe toxicity, but you should watch her for any of the following: Diarrhea, Vomiting, abdominal pain and anorexia. If she shows any of these symptoms- take her to the vet urgently.
