My dog ate Gentizol ear infection medicine. Will she be okay?

Question

My dog was prescribed gentizol for an ear infection and got ahold of the bottle and has consumed probably half a bottle. How harmful is this? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years and 5 months old | 50 lbs

For a dog this size, it has a possibility of causing damage to the stomach, intestines and kidneys, but I would have to know how big of a bottle it was. If it was half of a 15g bottle, then the dose should not be too harmful, but it's difficult to know for sure. Watch for signs of vomiting, diarrhea and a decrease in appetite as signs that she is having an adverse reaction. If you notice any of this, then she should go to the vet immediately for treatment. If she's otherwise acting normal, then she'll probably be OK. You will know that all is OK if nothing abnormal is seen in the next couple of days. Below is a link to the pet poison helpline. They can provide more assistance if needed. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ I hope that helps and all is good with Penny.
