Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It would be fine to continue to monitor Amirah for now as she will likely be ok and she will be able to pass the food without an issue. However, if she develops abdominal pain or any other concerning signs like inappetence or vomiting, I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!
