Question

My dog accidentally ate my Clamentin antibiotics is it harmful to him and do I need to take him to the vet. He ate 3 pills. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 61 lbs

The amount of antibiotic he ingested is higher than typically used so he may experience some gastrointestinal issues but it should not be toxic. You could give him a probiotic for a few days (Proviable or Fortiflora) and monitor for any abnormal signs. If you notice anything abnormal then he should be examined by a vet for treatment.
