I gave my dog 100mg Vetprofen. Did I give him too much medicine?

Question

i gave my dog a 100mg tab of vetprofen. My vet did some dental work and told me to give him half a tab. Is this a major problem???????? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 years and 4 months old | 68 lbs

A one time dose of 100 Mg for a 68# dog is not likely to cause any problems. However, I would recommend skipping the next dose. The average dose is about 1 mg per pound every 12 hours, but some veterinarians will give a double dose every 24 hours. So, basically 100 Mg is within an appropriate 24 hour dose for him. I hope this helps! Thanks for using Pet Coach.
