This will depend upon what dewormer you are using. If the active ingredient is pyrantel pamoate you are probably fine - this dewormer is not absorbed and doesn't have a systemic effect. I would keep an eye on your cat for a few hours and if everything seems fine I wouldn't worry too much.

However, if you were using an ivermectin or pyrethrin-based dewormer, you need to get your cat to a veterinarian for treatment quickly. Inducing vomiting at home will be wasting time and won't have much impact on symptoms - your veterinarian will have to provide prescription drugs at the clinic to get your cat through the intoxication.

To figure out what the dewormer medication is, look at the active ingredient list on the side of the bottle/jar. If the active ingredient isn't one of these three, you should call your veterinarian for specific advice.

If a cat is given too much de-wormer medicine, it can cause an upset stomach and diarrhea. If you suspect that you have overdosed your cat, take them along with the medication or medication package to the vet.

Is anybody using horse dewormer for their dog because its cheaper and effective?

I certainly hope not. Horses are so much larger than even the biggest breed of dog. Horse wormer could kill a dog. I'm not sure about the 'cheaper' part either. Horse dewormer is expensive, possibly more so than dog wormer. Always consult your vet when it comes to the health of your pets, whether it be horse or dog. Wormer is medicine and when given incorrectly can be a disaster for the animal.

What happens if you give a dog too much wormer?

Based on my own recent experience with my dog, she was very restless. She wouldn't lay down or go to sleep under the blankets, she kept getting up and pacing around. She shook and wouldn't come to any of us in the house. She wouldn't take part in any of her favorite activities. Overall she was being very uncharacteristic and very wired. I hope this was of some help.
