Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Trazodone is one of the non toxic antidepressants and some ingestion of it unlikely to cause any serious problem except sedation.

If she is active, playful and does not appear drowsy you do not need to do anything except keeping her under constant supervision and detect earliest anything which is abnormal as per her routine.

I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
