Can you overdose a puppy on worming tablets?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Toxicity can occur if a dog is given an excessive dose of the medication (10 to 20 times the recommended dose). Additionally, certain dogs are genetically hypersensitive to the medication. In these dogs, ivermectin can pass directly to the brain and be toxic or even lethal.


What happens if my dog has too much worming tablets?

Too much wormer can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and other health problems. Consult your vet immediately if you think your dog has had more than its recommended dose.

What happens if you over worm a puppy?

Yes, you can worm your dog too often! And it has no obvious benefit. In fact, over-worming your dog can actually backfire, and make your dog build up a tolerance – you most certainly don't want that.

Can puppies overdose on Dewormer?

When trying to deworm our pet, we often forget to weigh it, or we do not do so and simply refer to what we think its weight is, or what its weight was when it was last dewormed. This is the main reason that can lead you to underdose or, even worse, to overdose your dog.
