I'm really sorry to hear about your dog's experience. It sounds like a concerning situation, and I understand how worrying this must be for you. When a dog receives an overdose of medication, the effects can vary based on what medication was given, the amount, and your dog’s size and overall health.
Common signs of a medication overdose in dogs include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, excessive drooling, tremors, or seizures. In some cases, you may notice difficulty breathing, pale gums, or a rapid heartbeat. It’s crucial to keep a close eye on these symptoms and note any changes in behavior or appearance.
For now, ensure your dog stays hydrated, as this can help flush out any excess medication. If your dog is willing to eat, you can offer bland food like boiled chicken and rice which is gentle on the stomach. Make sure they have a quiet, comfortable spot to rest as well.
Watch for persistent or worsening symptoms, as these could indicate a more serious issue. If you notice severe symptoms like seizures or difficulty breathing, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
To ensure your furry friend gets the best follow-up care, I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. This way, we can further discuss your dog’s specific situation and guide you on the best next steps.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
