Luckily this does appear to be below the minimum toxic dose for ibuprofen which would be 25 MG/kg or 227 MG for a 20 lb dog. If there is any way she may have ingested more you should contact a veterinarian or animal poison control right away since puppies are more likely to develop kidney disease secondary to ingestion of ibuprofen. I would recommend monitoring her for vomiting or diarrhea as well. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com
