Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. That's a pretty high dose, but one single high dose is unlikely to cause a problem. You may notice Laci drink more water than usual, and she may have an increased appetite. I recommend reaching out to your vet when they open tomorrow since they know Laci's full history, but most likely they will have you continue her next dose on schedule.
