Gave my dog my Prilosec 20 mg by mistake. He is 23 lbs.


Prilosec, or omeprazole, is a medication that helps reduce stomach acid and is sometimes prescribed for dogs. However, the dosage can vary depending on your dog's weight and specific health needs. Given that your dog weighs 23 pounds, a single 20 mg dose is unlikely to cause significant harm. Nonetheless, it's important to keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms.
Please monitor your dog for signs of gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in appetite. Additionally, watch for any signs of lethargy or unusual behavior. If you notice any of these symptoms or have any concerns, it would be wise to contact your veterinarian for further guidance.
To prevent accidental ingestion in the future, try to keep all medications out of reach of pets. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
