Any Q

If you give a dog too much wormer, they might experience unwanted side effects ranging from mild to more severe symptoms. 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.


Can you overdose a puppy on Wormer?

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.

What happens if you overdose Dewormer?

In proper doses, this is a very safe and effective medication. However, when significantly overdosed, this medication can cause drooling, vomiting, weakness, heart arrhythmia's, and severe neurologic signs such as ataxia, seizures, blindness and potentially death.
