Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
12.5 ml is more than double the usual dose.
It would definitely cause drowsiness.
But do not worry.
Keep watching if he is breathing regularly.
If so he would wake up after a long sleep.
Do not give further doses until he recovers fully and is active and playful.
Other than that it shouldn't be a problem.
Just be careful with doses.

Hi
Do not worry, if he is sleeping and breathing comfortably, it shouldn't be a problem. Do not repeat further doses.
However if you have any doubts if he is breathing irregularly or less than usual, consult nearby doc.
