Question
I GAVE MY BEARDED DRAGON BY ACCIDENT AN OVERDOSE OF BAYTRIL LIQUID, I WAS GIVING HIM .07 AND BY ACCIDENT I GAVE HIM.40. SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

Answer
Hello Brandon,

Well, this one time it "should" be ok.  However, do not give him anymore for at least 5-7 days to allow sufficient time for it to be metabolized & passed through the system.
Give him extra oral fluids to help with hydration as well.  
Let me know how he is doing.
