Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While it is not normal, sometimes an episode of vomiting can be episodic and not necessarily something that will actually represent an issue going forward. If this does not occur again then it would be ok to not take her to a veterinarian. However, if the vomiting continues, she should be evaluated by a veterinarian as vomiting can be caused by a disease such as pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, among other possibilities. Good luck and have a good night!
