I am so sorry for the delay in answering your question. I hope that Tikvichko is feeling better at this time. If he is not, you should seek a veterinary emergency center. He may need IV fluids and treatment for acidosis. (If his blood has become acidic from the medication) You can also call animal poison control, as they would have the best information regarding overdosages of specific drugs. That number is (888) 426-4435. There is a fee but they are a wealth of potentially life saving information. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
