My dog ate clonidine pills from a bottle. Is this an emergency situation?

Question

My dog got a bottle of .2mg clonidine and I don't know how many she may have eaten. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | 4 months and 7 days old | 10 lbs

Clonidine is a medication that we do use in dogs for anxiety disorders. The dose of this medication in dogs is about 0.1 mg for dogs that are less then 20 pounds. The dosage that Daisy may have ingested is more than tolerated one and I would strongly suggest to have her checked immediately by your local veterinarian.
