Your small dog ingesting a large quantity of Heartgard Plus could be dangerous and warrants immediate attention. Consuming about 15 doses is significantly higher than recommended, risking serious side effects.
- Increased risk of toxicity due to overdose
- Potential for serious side effects such as vomiting or seizures
- Immediate veterinary care recommended
Heartgard Plus contains Ivermectin, which in such high doses can be toxic, especially for small dogs. It's crucial to monitor your dog closely for any signs of distress such as vomiting, diarrhea, or seizures, and to contact a veterinarian right away.
