My cat with IBD vomited meds. Can I give injectable Cerenia?

Question

My cat has IBD. He has flares and has just begun a new one. I gave him his normal doses of prednisoline, omeprazole, metronidazole, and added a half a Cerenia. He threw up shortly thereafter. I could identify the pred. and the omeprazole but could not see the Cerenia or flagyl. I am wondering.. would it be safe to give the injectable Cerenia I have on hand for emergencies while not knowing what if any he absorbed...and then remedicate w the others later when it has taken affect? TY. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 13 years and 11 months old | 9 lbs

Yes, it is safe and necessary to give him an injection of Cerenia at this point as without it he will not be able to keep the other medications down. do wait 2 hours after the injection before you give him any oral medications.
