So I had asked my mum to give Toast her medication and she gave it to Beans instead, after I had already just gave it to Beans 5 minutes before.

I gave Beans 0.1 Potassium Citrate and 0.2 Frusol, 5 minutes later my mum gave this again, so this was her 3rd lot of this dose (one in the morning) would this be dangerous? :hmm:
 
I wouldn't worry about the potassium citrate, that won't do any harm :) Is Frusol Furosemide ? If it is then that dose is not very high anyway & she will be fine :) x
 
I've dosed my little 900g piggy at more than 0.5ml twice a day & @Adelle has gone higher, so I wouldn't worry. Adelle will tell you how long to wait until the next dose though, I would say wait 12 hours before giving her next dose x
 
My Lupin is on Frusol 0.3 twice a day and hes a small lad due to his health issues.
So I would say it should be ok.
If your ever in doubt ring the vet and they can give advice of the phone.
I once got my two piggy medication mixed up :O I called them and gave the two names of the drugs I gave to Lupin and they told me it would be fine.
What is your little one on Frusol for? x
 
Fudge is on 1ml 3x daily and 1.25ml during a bad spell so I wouldn't worry about that dose. Just make sure she gets a little extra cucumber so she doesn't get dehydrated (she should be absolutely fine but obviously my sow is only on such a high dose as she has a lot of fluid to shift) x
