Fluoxetine Hydrochloride is often prescribed to dogs to help manage anxiety and other behavioral issues. If your dog has accidentally received a double dose, it's understandable to feel concerned, but try to stay calm. It's important to monitor your dog closely for any unusual symptoms.

Given that your dog weighs 55 pounds and has received 80 mg of Fluoxetine, this is indeed higher than the typical dosage. Please keep an eye out for any signs of overdose, such as lethargy, agitation, tremors, or gastrointestinal issues like vomiting or diarrhea.

In the meantime, make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water and a comfortable place to rest. It's best to hold off on administering any more medication.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
