Hi there
Do you know how heavy your dog is and how many mg he ingested? Advil contains Ibuprofen, which is not for use in dogs at all. One human dose (200mg) is a lot for such a small dog, and if he is showing clinical signs of poisoning then you do need to get him to the vets straight away. They can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, gastric ulceration and kidney disease. But as a one-off tablet the two latter are not likely to happen.
Please do not let him eat any more.
