Hi. He had a little over 2 times his normal dose if he had 12.5mg. Most likely you will just notice tiredness, lethargy and will just need monitoring, BUT it would be best to contact animal poison control with exact weight, amount, ingredients, and they will give you the best advice based on the history. Good luck.
