My 13lb dog got into Tylenol but didn't swallow much. Is she okay?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 14 lbs

Hi! I just noticed my dog got into a pack of Tylenol pills a few hours ago. There were only two in the pack and both were still intact when I found it. One of the pills was untouched but the other was snapped in half so I think she might've tried to eat it then spat it back out. But almost all of the pill was still there. She is only 13 pounds. Will she be okay?

Oh no, that was naughty of Sammi to get into the Tylenol! As long as the majority of the pill is there, it is likely she didn't ingest enough of it to cause toxicity. The good news is that Tylenol isn't as toxic to dogs as it is to cats, so she will likely be fine :-)
