This drug is not typically used orally in dogs, but this is a dose that would be within the normal range for IV. I think that most opiates are not as available when given orally to dogs so while Gizzmo may be sedate I would guess you won’t see any signs of toxicity. To be safe it would be a good idea to contact the Pet Poison Helpline to be sure: www.petpoisonhelpline.com
