My 55lb dog ate Carprofen. Should I take her to the vet or watch?

Question

Our dogs got into Carpofen while I was at work. There were 4.5 25mg tabs left. I am pretty sure that our 55 pound got all of the tabs because our puppy wouldn't be able to get up on the counter. The other dog we have is a 13 week old puppy. This happened any where from 4-8 hours ago. Both dogs are acting fine as of now. Should I just continue to watch them or do I need to take them in? Pet's info: Dog | Vizsla | Female | unspayed | 55 lbs

If you are sure that only Bella got into the Carprofen, she should be ok. The amount she took is right around the recommended dose for a dog her size, and it's not a massive overdose. If you think the puppy did get them, you need to take the puppy into a vet right away. I hope this helps!
