Panacur Overdose! So upset!

I accidentally gave Dylan a Panacur overdose today - I estimate he had just over half a tube full. Rang Vet & he said to keep an eye on him but that he should be ok. Have done some research on the Internet & it seems to be the general opinion that even with an overdose the Panacur shouldn't have any major effect. I'm just so upset - been in floods of tears all afternoon at making such a stupid mistake (I was distracted & put the tube measure in the wrong place) :cry: :cry:
Dylan is none the wiser & is his usual bouncy self. Keeping my fingers crossed he'll stay that way or I'll never forgive myself :cry:
 
Oh I'm sure if the vet thought he was in any danger he would have told you and got you to bring him in. I bet he will be fine. We all make mistakes so don't beat yourself up about it :thumb:
 
Aww hugs. There was no malice intended and it's a genuine mistake,,,, None of us are perfect....

Dylan's fine... so try to to beat yourself up...

Panacur is fairly innocuous so he should be absolutely fine....it would be quite difficult to overdose on it - it would take quite a large amount!
 
Were you using the rabbit paste? I have a hard enough time getting them to take one dose I can't imagine how he could have taken so much.
