This is about a 5-fold overdose for your cat. Please take her to your vet right away. He will have to make your cat regurgitate the capsule. At overdose with 20 mg/kg Clomicalm (5 times the maximum therapeutic dose), bradycardia and arrhythmias (atrioventricular node block and ventricular escape beats) were observed approximately 12 hours after dosing in dogs. Cats are usually more sensitive to medications, so this may be more toxic. Please take your kitty to your vet now.
