I recommend deworming at 10 day intervals. It, of course, depends on the medications, but if you mixed a second dose I would recommend adjusting the remaining doses at the correct interval originally prescribed.

Don't worry about it. Just give a dose now, then another in two weeks. This should be sufficient. about two weeks after giving the last dose, I suggest you take a bit of fresh stool to your veterinarian for a fecal exam to see whether there are still worm eggs present.
