It is not often used in pets but does have a wide dose thankfully. That is actually the middle dose for her weight, so you are unlikely to notice any affects at all. In extreme cases it can be anything from lethargy and sedation to hyperactivity. As long as she is responsive and walking, you can monitor her at home for the next 12-24 hours.
