This sounds like a lot although I am not sure if it will cause any harm. The normal dosage would be about 100,000,000 CFU/g. If this probiotic you are giving is not specifically made for cats I would suggest you get one made for cats. This is my favorite: https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/49853 I don't know if you can get this one in your location but try to find one similar. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
