I accidentally gave my dog a 57g CBD bar thinking it was the right amount—should I be worried or watch for any specific signs now?

Earlier today, I accidentally gave my dog a 57g CBD bar because I thought it was the correct dosage. I'm really concerned now, as it seems like a lot for a dog her size. Should I be on the lookout for any specific signs or symptoms, and is there anything I can do to ensure she's okay?

Answer

It seems you've given your dog a 57g CBD bar, which might be more than is recommended for her size. Your concern is understandable, and it’s important to monitor her for any symptoms of overdose.

  • Watch for changes in behavior or alertness
  • Look out for any signs of gastrointestinal distress
  • Be attentive to any unusual coordination or balance issues

CBD is generally well-tolerated in dogs, but symptoms of overdose may include lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or unsteady movement. Make sure she has access to water and a comfortable place to rest. If you notice any worrying symptoms, it’s best to consult with a veterinarian to ensure her safety and well-being.

Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
