Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is very little information available in the literature about overdosage of this drug. However, there was a study were dogs received 6 times the normal dose for several weeks and mostly only gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence were observed. I think that Tippy is most likely going to be just fine though keep a close eye on her and if any of the clinical signs described above are observed, have her evaluated by your veterinarian. Good luck and have a great night!

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. In the future if you have an emergent question (especially pertaining to possible medication toxicity) it is best to call your local ER vet as we are not an emergency service and cannot guarantee an immediate response. Your dog should be just fine having eaten those medications. The apoquel and thyroid medication doses are not worrisome at all. The normal Vetoryl dosing for dogs is 1-3mg/pound so at 12 pounds, a 10mg tablet should not be a problem. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Apoquel has a fairly wide margin of safety in dosing. At worst, you may see some minor GI upset (vomiting, diarrhea) and maybe a slight decrease in appetite. Further treatment likely will not be needed unless symptoms persists for more than 24-48 hours.
