My puppy has parvo and threw up medicine. Should I redose immediately?

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 4 months and 9 days old | 20 lbs

Hi, it was confirmed yesterday that my 4 month old puppy has parvo. They gave me the medications for her to take home. I have the fluid therapy, cerenia, metronidazole, and clavaseptin. I just gave her the metronidazole and clavaseptin and she puked it up. Should I give her another dose or wait until the next time she is suppose to take it?

If you saw the pills/capsules come up with the vomit, I would recommend redosing immediately. If you didn't actually see the medications and it was more than an hour after administration, wait until the next scheduled time. Good luck with your pup!
