Your dog received a double dose of Galliprant, a medication for pain and inflammation, and you're understandably concerned about any potential side effects. Fortunately, while overdosing is not ideal, serious side effects are uncommon with a single double dose.
- Monitor for any unusual symptoms over the next few days.
- Ensure your dog has plenty of water and rest.
- Contact a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
Galliprant is generally well-tolerated by dogs, with mild side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy being the most common. It's important to ensure your dog is comfortable and hydrated. If you notice anything concerning or if your dog seems off, it's best to consult with a veterinarian to get tailored advice based on your dog's health history.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
