As long as it was only one she'll get over it. Make sure she has lots of water available.

Answer 2

Call the emergency vet clinic. Some human medicines are dangerous to pets.

Answer 3

I would call a vet ASAP- percocet is a narcotic derivitive, you never know what that could do to a dog's system. You should hurry, if it's toxic they can probably give her liquid charcoal to stop it from being absorbed and causing damage.

Answer 4

you need to either call a vet right away or call the posion control they will tell you if it is dangerous for your dog,
I hope you take this advise and good luck with your dog, I hope it will be ok

Answer 5

It's hard to say, you should call poison control and ask them.

Answer 6

Call the numbers advised. What's important as well....you have to keep meds out of reach around pets.

Answer 7

I think the dog needs to be taken to the vet and given charcoal to get rid of the drug. It is a narcotic...I am sure your dog is really high... watch it's behavior closely and make sure you know how to get to the nearest emergency hospital just in case!

Answer 8

It's not the narcotic that's bad,it's the Tylenol in it that can be toxic to the dog's liver.Of course if it's a small dog,then the narcotic is bad,too.I would call an emergency vet to be sure.

Answer 9

you need to call a vet ASAP. Percocet does contain tylenol, which is toxic to dogs.. I do not know about the other drugs that it contains, but Im sure they are not good for dogs either.

Answer 10

percocet is a mix of oxycodone and tylenol. tylenol even in small amounts does extensive liver damage in dogs (and in humans too when taken incorrectly). like the other posters mentioned... you need to take your dog to the vet.. or at LEAST call the vet and get a professional opinion. the vet can tell you just how much tylenol is harmful to your particular dog. have the pill bottle on hand when you call the vet to make sure you tell him/her the correct dosage of the pill your dog ate
