i swallowed cerenia


My dog had been prescribed cerenia due to vomiting. He was given the 60 mg tablets and his prescription is for a half tab(30 mg) each day. I feed him his pills in turkey.
So, today i took his pill out and with my hands  i broke it in half, and placed it in the turkey and gave it to him. i noticed that there was some powder on my hands(some of the cerenia pill) from breaking it in half. without thinking i got hungry and took some turkey with that hand,and ate it. so i swallowed some cerenia.

i decided to just let it slide since it wasnt too much i do have another question though.
my oncologist said shane could be on palladia, and someone on the golden retievor foru decided to donate some palladia that she had from her pet who didnt make it....well when i opened the box i didnt realize that paladia was a chemo and you needed to wear gloves...so i touched some...but  i washed my hands..is that alright?
also are you supposed to wear a mask when administering it, cause it had a weird smell that gave me a headache.

That sounds like a very negligible amount.

However, you really need to contact your health care professional, since I am unable, as a veterinarian, to treat humans.
