Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If this is all she ingested then yes she is likely going to be fine now that she threw it up. I would encourage you to continue to monitor her for signs of a gastrointestinal obstruction such as vomiting, abdominal pain and/or inappetence and if seen have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!
