What happens if you give your dog too much worm medicine?

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.

Can you give a dog too much 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.

Can deworming overdose?

Underdosing may not give the desired results, and overdosing can be harmful. In the case of dewormers, underdosing will not kill all the parasites and may lead to drug resistance. “There are several reasons to not overdose or underdose,” says Steve Hendrick, DVM, Coaldale Veterinary Clinic, Coaldale, Alberta.

Can I deworm my dog twice in one week?

Yes she sure can. It can take up to 1 week to rid the first round of worms in her system. Then as the worms in her system go through their 2 week life cycle (from baby worms to adult worms that you see in the poop) they should be treated again as a re-emergence of worms is seen.
