My dog got a double dose of medication. Should I be concerned?

Question

I think I may have switched up my dogs medication from night time to day time and didn’t think of it. Which means he might have gotten his pills in 12 hours instead of 24 hours! He is taking prednisone 20 mg, cefpodoxime 200 mg, and ketoconazole 100 mg. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 82 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. With Crosby's size and the amount he was given, you should not seen any major side effects apart from maybe vomiting / diarrhea. If he seems lethargic, inappetant, vomits, etc., then I would recommend having him examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
