Plain peppermint tea will likely result in nothing more serious than some gastrointestinal upset (vomiting or diarrhea). If the tea has added caffeine though, Pepper should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. Vomiting can be induced via injection to getting he tea bags out of her system. Activated charcoal may be given afterwards to further reduce absorption.
