My cat got too much albuterol instead of Flovent. Is it harmful?

Question

My cat butters takes Flovent 44mcg inhaler three times daily as prescribed by his vet and also has albuterol inh (prn) I recently had to board him for 5 days (at his same vet). When I picked him up and looked at his Flovent which I purchased the day of his boarding the metered counter on back was in same position. They are looking into what happened My concern was they gave him albuterol three times a day instead of Flovent. Could this have been harmful to him?

There is no specifically worked out dosage for albuterol in cats, but it can be safely given to children up to 4 times daily, so we can extrapolate from that. I know you will be concerned but I really don't think any harm will have been done.
