My dog threw up heartworm medicine hours later. Should I redose?

Question

My dog took his heart worm medication at 6pm with dinner. He threw up a little at 2am that next morning (I don’t think they were related). Is that enough time that the medication should be absorbed or do we need to redose? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 8 months old | 35 lbs

That is absolutely enough. I would suggest NOT to repeat the dosage. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
