I have a golden retriever that has been on some hurting medication for fairly awhile. The vet told her to take a 50mg pill of Tranadol every morning.

I have another 8lb dog that jumped up on the table and ate the pill. Is this going to be dangerous for my little dog, or will she just be drowsy for the next few hours?

No one online can reply this question for you-- you'll just get guesses, which aren't safe or helpful. The answer depends on your smaller dog's weight, health, fitness, etc. Call your vet, who knows your dog. Or, since it's a holiday weekend, call an emergency 24-hour vet and ask. The vet will tell you what to do, and whether you need to bring her in.

Even though its Sunday call your Veterinarian and have the answering service put you through. This is an emergency and they will speak to you.

That is a enormous does for your little dog, the usual dose in dogs is 0.45 per pound of pet's weight. That would be 3.6mg - 14.4 mg for that little dog. As you can see 50mg is a lot!

Call your vet now!

Call the vet or read the side of the prescription bottle for warnings and weight/size dosages.

Only a vet is qualified to answer this impeach, not a bunch of strangers online. Emergency vets are open on weekends, so give one a call, or you can call the animal poison control center at 888 426-4435. There will be a $65.00 charge placed on your credit card.
