Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Binnie. Because he threw up two hours after you gave him the medication, the majority of the medication should have been absorbed. I'd give him his normal dose tomorrow, but if he vomits again after that, give his vet a call. I hope this helps.
