I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier as I've only just come online, for a few minutes.
Your dog seems fine, but I would still have a word with your vet about this, and ask for advice. You could do that by telephone. I don't know Plavix at all. But it might be wise to find out from the vet in case this drug could cause any kidney problems or likewise, which you might not be able to notice initially.

The best rule-of-thumb in future if anything like this happens is to make your dog vomit immediately if it has eaten anything that it shouldn't have. Just to be on the safe side. Then the dog might have an upset tummy for an hour or two, but it is better than the worry.

my dog is fine, thank god, nothing happened.  It was only 1 pill, thank god and not the whole bottle.  Thanks for your concern, everything is fine.

Hi!

Sorry no one has answered you.  I have been doing a bunch of research on this trying to find an answer and I can't come up with one.  It seems plavix is bad for dogs but it also is occasionally used in certain canine cancer treatments.  I think (and hope) one pill would not have hurt your dog.  By now, you should know if your dog is ok.  Please let us know as well!
