My 9 week old puppy just got into some sinus relief medication. The medicine is called phenylephrine and they are 5mg pills. She ate two of them. What should I do? Should I be concerned?

Watch your puppy carefully for signs of dizziness and weakness, because that drug can raise blood pressure, and even 150 lb adults with heart problems shouldn't take it. You should notice right away, within minutes. Insomnia and anxiety are other signs of overdose in humans.

For future reference you can also call poison control for any questions and they can often point you in the right direction.
