Dogs tend to tolerate opioids fairly well and this probably wasn’t a dose that is high enough to cause concern. If Zeus ate the tablet in the last hour I’d recommend seeing an emergency vet for them to induce vomiting and hopefully recover part of the tablet. If it has been longer than that you could monitor at home, but if you notice that Zeus is becoming sedate to the point that you cannot get him to stand up you should head to a vet. If the tablet had any other medications (like acetominophen) then there might be other concerns - repost your question and specify how much.
