Your dog's vomiting shortly after taking a Bravecto dose is concerning as it may not have been fully absorbed, affecting its effectiveness. Additionally, there's a risk of over-medicating if another dose is given too soon.
- Monitor your dog for any additional symptoms or changes in behavior.
- Contact your veterinarian to discuss safe next steps and timing for another dose.
- If vomiting persists, seek veterinary attention promptly.
It's common for pet owners to worry about the absorption of medication when an incident like vomiting occurs. Typically, if a pet vomits within two hours of administration, the medication may not be fully absorbed. Re-dosing can be considered safe under veterinary guidance. However, it's important not to make this decision alone to avoid over-medicating, which can have adverse effects.
