Your dog's vomiting after taking the antibiotic is concerning, and it's natural to worry about completing the medication course correctly.
- Do not administer another dose without advice.
- Monitor your dog's behavior and symptoms.
- Contact your vet for specific guidance on medication dosing.
It's important not to give another dose until you get specific advice from your veterinarian, as this could lead to overdosing. Your vet will consider several factors, including how much time has passed since the vomit and the type of antibiotic. Keeping track of any other symptoms and monitoring your dog's behavior is equally important for the vet to make an informed recommendation.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
