So my dog ate my bottle of Ambien

TL;DR - my dog ate as many as 15 Ambien and she's fine
My dog is a 13yo St. Bernard/boxer mix and weighs about 70 pounds. Yesterday afternoon she came in from outside and plopped down on the floor and didn't get up from there for 2 hours. She was groggy her head bobbing around something was clearly wrong. I thought well she is 13 maybe her time as arrived really didn't know what was up. After talking to the vet we decided to see how she was doing in the morning and she thought my dog must have gotten into something somehow.
Lo and behold when I'm turning in I can't find my Ambien prescription. I always have it sitting atop my nightstand but sometimes I'll knock it on the floor or something. I figure this must have happened and my dog carried this prize outside and tore into it. It had as many as 15 pills in it so it was quite a dose she ate.
By this time my dog was less groggy and moving around a lot better. Right away I did my research and found a study on this very subject where dogs who had ingested the equivalent of 60 Ambien pills by weight were studied. Apparently dogs handle Ambien quite well and recover just fine. So I was relieved and sure enough in the morning my dog was completely back to normal.
But damn she sure was fricked up yesterday. I figure she experienced a drunken state way beyond anything I've ever known.

You're like the Bill Cosby of the dog world. Watch your back next time you're at the dog park.

Did your dog wake up in the middle of the night wanting to screw or drive your vehicle? If not, your dog did well.

Congrats, she’s now addicted. Might as well line up the coke connection now.

I was in a doctor's office and the nurse was on the phone. When she hung up she looked at me and said why doesn't the dog eat the vitamins or the aspirin.
I gave a puzzled look and she continued. It's always the nerve pills or the sleeping pills the pet eats.

But did you let her eat the vomit after she threw all those Ambien up?

my wife would have spent alot of money having the dogs stomach pumped or something.

No puking or anything she was just wasted. Think she had the spins pretty bad for awhile for the first couple of hours she'd lay her head down to try to sleep but to no avail and it was right back to sitting up with her head bobbing around.

Was way too late for that when I figured out what happened.

Just take old Barkley out back and shoot him. He's gonna die anyway, so just shoot him now and he won't suffer as much.

Also, I'm calling BS on this story. That dog would've been dead on 15 Ambien.

What would happen to my dog if I gave her a little piece of a THC edible?
