Hello. While this is not a reported lethal dose, it can result in very serious clinical signs. I would strongly encourage you to take Dobby to the nearest veterinary clinic where the pills can be safely removed & Dobby monitored if this is needed. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
