Question
my dog ate around 2 or 3 exlax tablets, ill this hurt him?

Answer
Yes, it could, depending on the size of your dog. Overdosing with Ex-Lax can cause:

Abdominal pain
Collapse
Low blood sugar
Dizziness
Rash
Diarrhea
Drop in blood pressure

I would contact your veterinarian or emergency vet and ask them what you should do, if anything. Do be on the watch for the above symptoms.

The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
