It's a good question, but rest assured the safety margin for using Zeniquin is high - this means that you are not likely to see any issues by giving Leopold an accidental extra dose tonight. I would suggest that you continue by using the Clavamox every 12hrs, and repeating the next dose of Zeniquin tomorrow evening. It is best if both meds are given around mealtime - they are less likely to cause nausea and vomiting if given with a meal. Please feel free to ask any additional questions.
