Okay, dude, calm it down for a minute.

What do you mean when you say "I think I gave her too much"...did you or didn't you? (i'm not angry you just have to think straight right now)

If you did, you need to go to the ER Vet now with that information and the medication. Depending on when she got her meds, they could give her activated charcoal and make her vomit.

If you didn't, well, hell, she still needs to go to the vet so she does not dehydrate from diarrhea. She could be having an allergic reaction. You need to make sure she is hydrated...use a turkey baster of water or a dropper (depending on her size) and force fluids into her system.

8 hour wait Shocked If you storm in there hell and high water they have to do something. Or find a new clinic.

Hope everything is alright!!!

What meds did you give? I work in a vets office and regularly fill perscriptions and may be able to help. What is the weight of the puppy and the amount of meds you gave?

they divided it up between the two puppies and so they gave it to me in a syringe and gave me the sheets on the dosage

she ate a little bit
still havenig bloody diarea
shes still too thin
she woke up and played a little bit and then fell asleep on travis lap

im going to go buy her some canned food and maybe she will eat that more
she doesnt seem like shes getting enough to eat

Didn't the vet say what the stuff was when you called? What would be the overdose symptoms to watch for, etc?

Good luck.

Call your vet right now. Side effects do include staggering, diahrrea, vomiting, depression and dialated pupils so it could just be that but since you think you gave a higher dosage you really need to call and talk with a doctor or someone who is familiar with this drug. It is uncommon to be perscribed this drug since most vets treat this type of mange through medicated dips.

Good. They will be able to help you better since they can see your puppy and the symptoms. Why exactly did they decide to treat with meds rather than a dip?

i have an appt at the white angel clinic at 1:15
i have no idea why they didnt use the dips
shes only about 5 weeks old so that may be a reason
plus she was thrown from a moving truck and infasted with hookworms so that might be a factor also
i just wanna thank you so much for helping me

It could be. Medicated dips are normally only for pups over 12 weeks. They might have been trying to kill two birds with one stone with the meds as well. Go in and check. Also, since you are pregnant, I would be careful around a pup with worms etc. It would not be good to contract any of these thing right now.

hey guys i just got back from the vet

ok so its good and bad news
when we took her in they did parvo test
nope not parvo
they said shes severly dehydrated
her blood count is low
her protein is low
she had a few worms but not enough to be causing the bleeding
the vet couldnt understand why the hell they gave me ivermectin for the pup
she was furious
ivermectin is used for cows and she said no puppy that young and in the condition should EVER be takeing iveremctin

so anyways they said they wanted to run a cathader on her and give her some meds...so i had my drs appt at 3:30 and so they said to go take care of what we needed to do and then come back at 5:30 to get her

so we went to the drs
i didnt get to go to my moms
but then we went and bought a collar and charms and outfits for penut because the vet said she should be ok

so we went back tot he vet at 5:30 to get her and the vet says she needed to talk to us and stuff
so we go back and she said penut ate really well and they rehydrated her and so she was doing better
she had IV fluids in her and everything, but the diarea was continuosly blowing out of the other end and they have no idea why
that she is anemic
and may need a blood transfusion which would cost $2000
well the cost today was $400 bucks
so we paid that and the vet said she wanted to see us back at 10 am tomarrow
they left the cathader in and right now penut is asleep on the chair

well, bad news is the vet told me "hun i want to tell you this because you are pregnant. now im 50 yrs old and i have kids so i know that when you are preg your hormones are crazy...penut only has a 50/50 chance...we will check her tomarrow...and if shes doing ok we will give her a few days and then you can come back ijn a week and we will check her again... if not then tomarrow you may have to make a tough decition and it will be hard but youll be getting into the thousands in vet bills at the wrong time because soon your going to have bills of your own...and a baby. and yeah you will cry and be upset but eventually youll get over it and know that it was meant to happen"

so

i dont know whats going to happen. all i know is im too tired and stresse
i miss my mom
im spending money i dont have to spend right now...and i just want her to be better. if tomarrow shes not better then i know what im going to have to do but i dont know if i can do that. i dont know if i can say to let her go
i cant...

so to top it off my glucose test came back that my iron is too low and now im on iron tablets

i hope this puppy makes it
if everyone could please keep her in your thoughts

thanks for the help
