It's understandable to be worried after giving your dog an extra dose of Cerenia. Keep an eye on him for any unusual symptoms, but know that you may just need to monitor for any changes.
- Monitor your dog for any changes in behavior or symptoms.
- Consult a vet if you notice anything unusual or symptoms worsen.
- Stay calm; often, observation and guidance from a vet are all that's needed.
Cerenia (maropitant citrate) is generally safe, but like any medication, an extra dose can cause side effects. Common side effects may include lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea. Since your dog seems normal, continue monitoring for these symptoms. If he shows any signs of distress or unusual behavior, contact your veterinarian right away for guidance.
