My maltipoo took too much anxiety medicine. Is he okay 2 hours later?

No worries. Just about all anti-anxiety medicaitons used in pets have a sedative effect in the first 2 weeks of use until steady levels are achieved in the bloodstream. As long as he is eating his food by end of day then I would not be too concerned. Also check his gums and make sure they are a nice pink color, which indicates his blood pressure is good. If you still have concerns then contact your vet and see if the dosage can be dropped a bit to reduce the sedative effects. Best wishes with Hershey moving forward. I hope everything gets better from here moving forward. Take care.

If it has been two days with no issues Casper will likely be ok. I recommend monitoring him for decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, dark stools and/or pain/pale gums for one week to ten days past the possible ingestion time. If you see any of those signs he needs to be seen by his veterinarian.

I would not be overly concerned however, it depends on the dose and how far apart the doses were given. If you are talking about 2 hours apart then there could be an issue. If you are talking more like 9-10 hours apart then it should be just fine.

Mirtazipine is typically well tolerated in dogs. You may see sedation or drowsiness. Symptoms that should be addressed by your vet include low blood pressure or increased heart rate. Given his age, you may want to have him checked out at the nearest veterinary ER or put a call in to the Pet Poison Helpline ( (855) 764-7661 ). There is a fee for this call, but they will have toxicologists and doctors who can tell you definitively if Cody is at any risk.

If you gave the medication as your vet prescribed it she should probably be fine. In rare cases of overdose adverse reactions include changes in mentation (depression, nervousness, restlessness) and behavior. It may also cause sedation. Keep an eye out for any of these symptoms and if you notice them call your vet. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would need to know the milligrams (mg), how many tablets of each and how often he receives the medications to be 100% sure. But he likely will be fine! If he receives any of these medications twice daily just skip tonight's dose. Even if they are just once a day medications he will likely be fine. Call your Vet tomorrow to discuss it with them. I hope this helps and have a good day!

Monitor your dog for oversedation, Since he is a larger dog, I'm inclined to believe that he shouldn't have much trouble with these. If he becomes lethargic or unresponsive o seems to have trouble breathing, get him seen by a vet immediately and take the packaging with you.
