Apparently there's not a lot of literature on overdosing this med. Bird dosing is similar to dogs, in terms of mL per Kg, and she found examples of dogs getting this equivalent dose for the duration of the treatment.

I gave Yuna a bit too much of the anti-fungal when I first started a few weeks ago and she was fine. I even spoke to the vet and they said she would be ok, and she was.:hug8::hug8:

:grouphug3:Thank god for everyone on AA, seriously. I can't think straight these days. I feel like an idiot for screwing up rudimentary math but I'm probably not the first person to do it. I really hope she will be ok.

I have Yuna 0.3 ml instead of 0.03 ml which is a drop!

I am sorry, it was metacam, the anti-inflammatory. I sure hope Olive will be ok.:hug8:

What antifungal is she on? I know Baytril and such aren't toxic if overdosed like that but the antifungals can have some nasty side effects. So glad Yuna is okay! Those 0's tend to disappear, don't they? :o:

ETA: Saw it was metacam.

It is called amphoteracine. She has two antibiotics, and the anti-inflammatory also. I dble checked and it is the anti-inflammatory I gave too much. Yeah...vast difference with that extra 0.:(

I'm just grateful I caught myself before I have her 0.8 mL. That would have been much worse. Now that I've made that mistake once, though, I will be a whole lot more careful in the future.

Oh Ellen, Glad you got an answer. You are tired and overwhelmed. It happens to everyone. :hug8::hug8:

How's Olive doing? getting ready for bed?
Oh yeah, she's sleeping now. I'm trying to get my heart rate to return to normal. :o:

Get a black sharpie. Mark the line of where you need to draw the medicine up to. If tired or busy the line acts as a reminder of the correct dose.
