Although that is about four times the recommended dose for a dog of Miracle"s size, the worst you may see is some vomiting or diarrhea. Thisbis because Espiprantel has a wide margin of safety. It would be best to confirm the proper dose with your veterinarian before administering any dewormer or any medication in general.
