My dog takes thyro tabs canine 0.2 mg once a day in the morning. I inadvertently gave him an extra dose in the evening. Should I be worried about overdose?

No. You should not be concerned about one extra dose generally speaking and should continue giving his medication as regularly scheduled. If you see any persistent behavior or clinical signs that are out of the normal for Jax, repost your concerns or report to an animal hospital.
