My dog accidentally was given a double dose of phenobarbital. His prescription is for 2 tablets every 12 hrs of 1gr (64.8mg). I've called ASPCA poison control but my call was placed on a waiting list. It was about 30 mim between the first and second dose.

Hello and thank you for contacting PetCoach. Opie will be fine. He may show signs of sedation, lethargy and sleepiness for 8-12hrs but there should not be any more worrying signs. Please, continue with the next dose of phenobarbital as normal.
