Your dog has ingested more than the recommended dose of Dogswell wormer, which can be concerning due to potential side effects from the excess medication.
- Monitor your dog's behavior closely for any adverse effects.
- Identify any symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
- Consult a vet if unusual symptoms appear or if you are concerned.
While many wormers have a safety margin for accidental overdose, it's important to stay vigilant for any reactions. Side effects could include gastrointestinal upset and lethargy. Most dogs will only experience mild symptoms, but severity can vary based on the amount ingested and your dog's size and health.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
