My dog accidentally got too much penicillin. Will she be okay?

Question

I gave my 115lb dog 10 ml injectable penicillin by mistake will she be ok. Pet's info: Dog | Newfoundland | Female | spayed | 115 lbs

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

She will likely be ok, however she could get diarrhea since the penicillin in this 10-fold overdose likely killed every single bacterium in your dog including the good bacteria in the digestive system. Depending on whether this was a long-acting or short acting penicillin you should wait a few days and add some probiotics to her food to help reestablish a healthy intestinal flora.
