You may see some increased drowsiness with this dose, but this is low enough where I would not expect any true toxicity concerns. I would also recommend contacting pet poison helpline for more specific informtaion on any toixicty concern for your pet. Best wishes with Sy and I hope that he turns out ok. Take care.
