My dog took an extra Tramadol dose. What overdose signs to watch for?

Question

My dog takes Tramadol 50mg. The bottle says 2 pills 2 -3 times daily. My daughter gave her medicine this evening before 9:30p. I didn't realize it and I gave her another dose around 11:30p. That would make 3 doses for the day, we usually only give her 2 doses. What should I watch for that would indicate she's overdosed? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 65 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I doubt ChaCha will have any adverse effects because 4 tabs is only slightly higher than the maximum labeled dose for a dog her size. But if she does, you are most likely to see sedation. Less likely you may see dysphoria - dilated pupils, vocalizing (this is NOT pain- it’s basically being “high”), pacing, panting, or other somewhat abnormal behavior. Also possible cut uncommon, she may be constipated tonight or tomorrow. Best wishes to you and ChaCha!
