A member asked:

How much milligrams of antipsychotics can be found in saliva? i'm afraid i made my dog sick because i gave food from my mouth and saliva antipsychotic

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries: There won't be enough of the medication in such a situation to cause any noticeable effects in a dog. The presumption is that only a little bit of saliva is being transferred. If worried, one can just give the dog some dog food instead.
