Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. In the future if you have an emergent question (especially pertaining to possible medication toxicity) it is best to call your local ER vet as we are not an emergency service and cannot guarantee an immediate response. Your dog should be just fine having eaten those medications. The apoquel and thyroid medication doses are not worrisome at all. The normal Vetoryl dosing for dogs is 1-3mg/pound so at 12 pounds, a 10mg tablet should not be a problem. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
