It seems that your puppy may have received an incorrect dosage of Drontal. It's important to monitor him carefully, as an overdose could potentially lead to side effects.
- Monitor your puppy for any unusual symptoms.
- Consult a veterinarian to ensure his safety.

Drontal is a dewormer, and while it's generally safe, accidentally giving a higher dose than recommended for your puppy's weight could cause mild to moderate side effects. These may include gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea, lethargy, or a lack of appetite. If you notice any concerning symptoms or if you're feeling unsure, it's wise to consult a veterinarian promptly to ensure your puppy's safety and well-being.
