Meds and vomitting

Rocky very seldom vomits,but this morning he gulped down his food and 5 min later it came back up.
Since his pill was in the first tea-spoon of food,should I give him another pill???
I assume it came up together with the food...

I don't know Chico2. I'd be inclined to wait until the next time he's due for the meds. I'd rather under dose than over dose with meds.

Unless you could see the pill in the food that came up? If not, I'd go with clm's advice. Better to underdose than overdose....

I would wait until he is due for the next one too chico

I'm going to agree with the others, better to just wait until his next dose is due. How is Rocky doing anyway? (other than this morning's scarf-n-barf)

That's what I thought,I did not give him another.
His pill is mashed up in a teaspoon of food,I would not know if it came up too,but it probably did.

SCM,thank's for asking,Rocky still has runny poop,but otherwise he is not hyper anymore,since the vet increased the pill to 1/2 twice/day.
Monday I have a meeting with a new vet,highly recommended by friends,maybe he can help with Rockys poop,we'll see.

Good luck with the new vet and hope Rocky's tummy is better. :goodvibes:
