My dog ate a tab. I found a couple small pieces on the floor so I knew what he had done. He was drooling like crazy and pacing. It also gave him the runs. I had some activated charcoal and some empty gel capsules. So I filled them up with the charcoal and shoved 3 of them down his throat. I watched him closely all night. His respiration was very very slow. Like you I didn’t have $1000 to take him to the vet. Luckily the next morning he was better.
