My dog ate aripiprazole. What should I do if my dog ate human meds?

Question

My American mastiff dog about 100 pounds ate a aripiprazole 2mg table. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 21 days old | 100 lbs

Oh my goodness, I hope at 5 months old Zia is not already 100 pounds! That would very overweight even for a Mastiff. Abilify can cause low blood pressure, sleepiness, and depression or lethargy - but it has not been shown to be a highly toxic drug, thankfully. If the ingestion occurred right now you can try to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide. The dose is 1cc per pound of body weight. If the ingestion happened several hours ago, there is likely to be no benefit in inducing vomiting - rather, a veterinarian would only be able to manage any symptoms that were noted. If all seems normal, there may not be any immediate concern - but if you are seeing sleepiness, lethargy, depression, or pale gums, you need to seek veterinary attention immediately.
