It is possible the kale caused the stomach upset or it could be unrelated. If she is fine now, monitor her for the next day or so. If you see any more stomach upset, withhold food for 12 hours then resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to her regular diet afterwards.
