Since it has been several hours, inducing vomiting will not help. Dogs take higher doses of thyroid medications than humans do, so it is likely that Roxy will be fine. He may develop some stomach upset. Monitor for rapid heart rate, panting and restlessness or hyperactivity. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. You can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline ( https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ ). They are staffed by toxicologists who have more detailed information. There is a fee for the call. https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/thyroid-medications/
