Omg Bailey was given the wrong medication!

Bailey got another infection in his penis where green pus was leaking out, so I called the vet and asked them to prescribe him some antibiotic. They said sure and to come pick it up. I had already started to flush his penis twice a day but with green pus I wanted him on an antibiotic just to be safe. So I went and picked it up last night and gave it to him and then again this morning. Through the night last night he had the runs and he's been very lathargic. I could tell he has been not feeling well. So I went and checked the medication. The outside of his meds said that he's supposed to be getting 62.5mg every 12 hours but the foil pkg the medication sits in said that it was 125mg... I called the vet and they asked me to bring the medication back in and I also brought Bailey in. They gave Bailey a shot of pepcid to help calm his tummy and Metranidazole to be given with the Clavamox since it's known to upset the GI track anyway. They obviously didn't charge me for the vet visit or the replacement meds but what an ordeal for me and my baby!!!! He looks so sad and like he's not feeling well. I hate seeing him sick!!!
