Most likely this amount of amoxicillin is not going to cause Theodore any harm. However any medication can cause GI irritation like vomiting and diarrhea. IF you notice any diarrhea I would recommend trying a bland diet for 12-24 hours of boiled chicken and white rice. If this does not help than Theodore should go see a vet for medications to resolve the GI upset. Hope that helps . thanks for using pet coach

    This is above what would be a recommended dose for Lea if she was on it, but at most, this may cause some GI upset. If you do see vomiting and diarrhea, have her seen by a vet; otherwise, she should be ok.
