Hello. If the bleach was pretty diluted in the water, then I would not be too concerned. Feed Mila 1-2 slices of white bread & this should dilute whatever is in the stomach further. I would not worry unless she should vomit more than 1 time or her appetite is off for more than 24 hours, but she should be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
