Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is likely a small enough amount to be toxic. Since he has vomited there is less in his system to absorb. I would monitor for vomiting and diarrhea and seek medical attention if you see tremors or seizures. Good luck and kisses to Diesel!
