I have a 12 week old toy poodle who just vomited twice so far tonight and I'm wondering if it's cause for alarm or not. She had her worming medication with her dinner, and also when I looked at her vomit there were little broken up pieces of toy. Thanks for any help!

The vomiting could have been triggered by the deworming, this is not uncommon at all. you should monitor her, if by tomorrow the vomiting continues, then it will be a reason to be worried, until then withhold food for about 6 hours and give her a lite meal later. if the vomiting do not stop, you will need to take her to the vet to get it checked.
