I suspect my two black labs, Archie (9 years old) and Lulu (3 years old), both weighing around 75 pounds, might have eaten some moth balls approximately 18 hours ago. They are currently acting completely normal with no signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. When should I expect to see symptoms if they did ingest the moth balls?

My 15 lb dog, Stella, might have swallowed a Losartan potassium 50 mg pill that I dropped on the floor. This happened about 5 minutes ago, and she hasn't vomited or shown any reaction.
