My 70lb dog ate 5mg oxycodone. Should I rush her to the animal clinic?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 70 lbs

My dog is pit bull/lab mix she weighs about 70lb. I think she took one of my oxycodone which is 5mg tablets. Do I have to worry about anything happening to her? Do I need to rush her to an animal clinic?

She may be a bit sleepy but otherwise she should have no ill effects. A dose of oxycodone for a dog her size is up to 10mg and she only ingested 5mg. I would not worry about this at all. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
