Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Cuca is possibly going to be ok. As of now at least, this is not considered an emergency. This may be due to gastrointestinal upset which may resolve on its own. I would continue monitoring her and have her evaluated if this continues, or you notice other signs of illness such as diarrhea or inappetence. Good luck!
