My dog ate a muscle relaxer. It's called cyclobenzaprine. It's a 10 MG pill. My dog is a 62 lbs pit bull. Is she in harm??

You need to take him to your vet as soon as possible as these tablets can cause severe intoxications. The dosage is quite low but your vet could potentially make him sick or give activated charcoal to avoid/limit absorption.
Signs of intoxications are weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, acute anemias and neurological signs.

As Nani's weight, she has taken a dose rate of 0.35mg/kg. At this dose rate, you may not see any toxic effects. If she has taken it within the past two hours, I recommend taking her into your vet now to induce vomiting to be safe. I would still recommend taking her into your vet even if it's been longer than two hours since she took it to be safe. Your vet can give her activated charcoal which will help reduce the severity and duration of signs as it helps absorb the toxin that is already within the gut.
