Hello! I have great news for you! Watson is a big enough dog that the amount of Ibuprofen he ate should not cause any toxicity. I would not expect to see any problems as a result of this. He should be his normal, goofy Labrador self today. Ibuprofen at higher toxic doses can cause serious bleeding from the stomach and kidney failure, so thanks for checking to be sure! :) I hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
