Although to give you a specific answer I would need more informations (like concentration in the tablet, weight of your dog and exact name of the tablet - I guess it is named macrolone?- ), generally speaking it is unlikely to give any severe side effects that would require an immediate check up, a part from gastrointestinal ones like diarrhoea and vomiting. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
