My dog ate 200mg ibuprofen. Is that dose toxic for her weight?

Question

My dog ate 1 200mg ibuprofen . She is an 8 month old bull mastiff cross and weighs 22kg/48pounds . She ingested this around about 7 hours ago. She has not shown any strange behaviour has no vomited and has ate her meal normally . She is her normal playful self and is currently jumping all over the front room . Should I be worried ? Is this dose toxic for the weight of my dog. Pet's info: Dog | Bullmastiff | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 25 days old | 48 lbs

1200mg is a seriously toxic amount. I would recommend that you call ASPCA's poison control number. That number is 888-426-4435. There is a $65 charge, but they will be able to best advise you. Please have the label available so you can let them know the amount of medication listed, and what any other potentially concerning ingredients were.  If you meant "one 200mg" tablet, then this is on;ly a small amount over a safe dose for a 22kg dog, however I would definitely monitor Coco for the signs described here and if any of those signs appear, take her to a veterinarian for an exam. https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/ibuprofen/ I hope thats helpful, thanks for using PetCoach
