Your dog has ingested two doses of NexGard, each meant for a 50-pound dog, and this may be above a safe level depending on its size. It's important to monitor for any adverse reactions.
- Contact a vet immediately if you notice any unusual symptoms.
- Monitor your dog for any signs of toxicity or discomfort.
- NexGard overdoses can cause serious issues, but timely intervention is often effective.
NexGard is generally safe at recommended doses, but accidental ingestion of an excessive amount can lead to side effects. Watch your dog closely for digestive upset, lethargy, or unusual behavior. If your dog is smaller than 50 pounds, these effects could be more pronounced. Please consult with a vet to ensure your pet's safety and to get personalized advice based on your dog's health history and current condition.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
