My dog ate Zyrtec and cardboard. When should I take him to the vet?

Question

Hello, my dog is 10 months old. He likes to eat anything he finds. He might have eaten some zyrtec and some cardboard. I also left him in the kennel with peanut butter mixed with dog food in his kong and after that, he ate his cup and half of food and water. He now has a big stomach is is resting. How long should I wait before taking him to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 10 months and 12 days old | 60 lbs

It would help to know how much Zyrtec he may have eaten - this medication can be given to dogs but too many pills could cause symptoms of toxicity. Cardboard would be unlikely to cause a problem although again if he ate a large amount there would be potential for obstruction. I wouldn't worry too much about him eating extra food today. Even if his belly seems large as long as he seems comfortable and is not vomiting veterinary care will probably not be required. Feel free to repost your question with more details about the Zyrtec.
