Hello. Reese will be just fine. He is actually on a pretty low dose, so I would not expect any problems at all. Just continue with his regular 10 mg dose in 12 hours. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Uh oh, naughty dog! Fortunately, your dogs are close enough in size that I’m not worried about an overdose, and a single dose of these medications shouldn’t cause a major problem for him. However, I would recommend touching base with your Vet since they know his specific history, and watch for symptoms of GI upset that can occur with any new medication. Hope this helps.
