A one time double dose of deramaxx should not cause major problems. Signs to watch for anytime they are on an anti inflammatory medication include decreased appetite, vomiting, or dark back stool. If any of these signs are noted stop the deramaxx and call your vet. Baron should do ok!!

While it is not good to double up a dosage, you should just keep on giving him his medication at the regular times. I would wait until tomorrow night to give him his next dose and then keep on giving the Deramaxx in the evenings.
