My dog took too much Deramaxx. Should I worry about an overdose?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | neutered | 70 lbs

My 70 lb bulldog received a half 75mg dermadaxx dose this morning at 11 am and accidentally a second 75mg half a pill dose tonight at 8:30 - should I be worried about an overdose or is it ok due to the time difference?

While it is not good to double up a dosage, you should just keep on giving him his medication at the regular times. I would wait until tomorrow night to give him his next dose and then keep on giving the Deramaxx in the evenings.
