Hi there. If your dog is this size it is likely she will be fine. Side effects of the medication include vomiting, diarrhea, and gastric ulcerations but are not always seen. What I do recommend is that you schedule a visit with your veterinarian if you see any of these issues arise to have your pet seen and possibly some bloodwork drawn to check her internal organs for function. I hope this helps!
