Hi my wee fiv boy has been on antibiotic capsules for 2 days . Today he was sick and brought up all his food 2 and a half hours after taking his capsule. My vets is now closed and wondered if thus would have been digested so quickly. More worrying as yesterday I put in his food but he only ate a little so wouldn't have had the full dose. Any ideas anyone. Thanks x

Out of hours, our vet practice still forwards to a duty vet so it's worthy trying. However, I think a cat's digestion is pretty quick.
What antibiotic is it and what is it for?

I'm no expert, but my gut feeling is that they were down long enough to have been absorbed, but I would check with the vet (especially as he didn't get a full dose yesterday) I wish him better.
