DOG RIMADYL OVERDOSE HELP? I don't know if my dog overdosed or not...?
My dog is one and a half years old. Seymour (my dog) just got back from being neutered where he was given 1/2 of a 25mg tablet of rimadyl. I was not aware he was given the tablet so i gave him another 1/2 of a tablet. The pill bottle tells me to give him 1/2 of a tablet 2 times a day... but it was 30 mins of each other.
should i be worried?
He is 15lbs and a yorkie mix

That is not likely to be a lethal dose.
However, to be safe, call your vet, the local emergency animal hospital or ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

IF you got him there quickly he should be fine. My sisters dog got into the rimadyl and it was not immediately discovered. Sadly the dog died from a perforated stomach from the overdose even though she was treated by a vet. Time is of the essence in a case like this.

Call your vet immediately. They will tell you whether or not this is a problem with your particular dog.
We can look up the dosage, but without a complete history of this dog, there is no one answer.
You need to ask important questions of your vet, not random people on the internet.
