No, you have not overdosed her. However, she doesn't seem to be responding to therapy. You need to follow up with your veterinarian to discuss abdominal x-rays and/or ultrasound in order to get a more definitive diagnosis.

You should always follow the directions as prescribed by your vet and not increase dose without direct instruction. I recommend you contact your vet, she likely needs additional treatment this time to relieve her discomfort
