Wrong dose

[KCG]

I started emeprid for Cookie. Prescribed to take up to 2mg of emeprid per day. Normally I had to give 0.5 mg in a single dose 4 times a day. But at that moment I accidentally gave 1 mg. So I'm thinking of skipping the next dose. Will it cause a problem if I accidentally overdose him once? I'm a little worried that I made this mistake and I blame myself

Yes, I gave 1 mg instead of 0.5

Yes, I gave 1 mg instead of 0.5

I think emeprid is 1mg/ml anyway. He'll be fine, I wouldn't skip next dose tho

You can give Emeprid 2-4 times a day, so I would actually skip the next dose, since you gave twice the dosage this time. That way you'll still have that 2mg a day.

Edit: I should've explained, when you give it twice a day, the dosage can be higher, so in that case you could actually give 1mg, that's why I'd skip the next dose, because if you don't, you'll be giving him more than prescribed.

Just to confuse you, I would do something a little different with the situation you are now in.

I wouldn't exceed the prescribed daily rate of 2mg. However, with one dose you have already used up 1mg of this. I would want the remaining doses for the day to be spaced out evenly though. So, I wouldn't skip the next dose. What I would do instead is to divide the remaining 1mg equally between the next three planned dosage times.

This makes perfect sense, thank you for the advice🩷🩷🩷
