| Rimadyl overdose...2x's the dose? Ok.. some quick advise please! I am not totally panicked.. but.. we just gave out dog 2 pills , when he should have had one! A mistake.. he thought I had not given the dose, and I thought he had not given the dose..you guessed it.. so we both did! Do you think it will be ok? I do not want to do the hydrogen peroxide thing.. that scares me even more. Advise please? This just happened 15 min ago..

| Call your vet if possible........ you could also check out the Rimadyl website, there might be something on it.

| Here is what the website says: What do I do in case my dog eats more than the prescribed amount of Rimadyl? Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog eats more than the prescribed amount of Rimadyl.

| Inducing vomitting is not really a big deal. It's very easy to do; just get a syringe and give the recommended amount. Has your baby been doing okay with the Rimadyl so far?

| What you should do Well im not a expert at this but i think you should call your vet just incase and see if there is something wrong or not. Even though nothing unsusual has happened yet, its always good to just make sure
