Answers:
Even if your pet does not swallow a "lethal dose" of medication, if a pet eats medication it can still cause liver or kidney damage/failure, which can cause a slow, painful death.
uggh...you don't need to ask that. You just need to be careful to not drop or share your medication with your pet.
One pill definitly wouldn't do it. It would probably take 4 or 5 at least, and then your dog may just get really stoned, lol.
This is an example of why you need to teach your dog to "leave it"
you'd need to call the poison control center - but normally if a dog gets into some sort of medication your best bet is to force the dog to drink hydrogen peroxide (the amount is different for different weights) this will make the dog vomit within minutes and at least by you some time until you get to your regular vet
