Typically allergy pills will make your pet a little lethargic, that is a normal side effect. And if he just got 1 pill there shouldn’t be any toxicity concerns. If you want to make absolutely sure then repost with your pets exact medication name and we can verify that things will be ok with Angel. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Take care!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If you are referring to chlorpheneramine in 4mg tablets she should be fine. I wouldn’t give her anymore until tomorrow. If this is not the drug or size of the pill please repost. Have a great day.
