My dog accidentally took Vetprofen too early. What should I do?

Question

My dog has arthritis and was prescribed Vetprofen. I gave her one pill last night about 7pm for the first time. She was given a second pill this morning. She is only supposed to take one pill every 24 hours. She does not have any symptoms, but I am concerned. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years and 3 months old | 50 lbs

I would not worry at this point but I suggest you not give her any more Vetprofen until 24 hours after the last dose. If you have some Pepcid (famotidine) 10mg on-hand you can give her one of those daily for the next few days to protect her stomach. If you notice any vomiting or not eating get her to your vet ASAP. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
