My dog accidentally took too much Metacam. What's the next step?

Question

Hello, my dog has to take 8ml of Metacam but I accidentally gave her 12ml. Her weight is 8.5kg. Should I be doing anything now? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old

Since this was not quite double the appropriate dose your dog should be ok. Do not give another dose for at least 48 hours. Make sure Evie has access to plenty of fresh water. She may develop GI signs (like anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea) but they should not last more than 24 hours. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
