Hi and thanks for posting. I wouldn’t worry too much about this. Griffen consumed more towards the maximum dosage of this medication (4mg per kg of body weight) but he should be ok as long as he is not on any similar medications. He may have some gastrointestinal discomfort such as vomiting and diarrhea as a side effect of the medication. If he is on any similar medications, I would be sure and let us know so we can advise further. I hope this helps!
