Without knowing how much she ate or the ingredients in it, it would be hard to say. If you can't bring Lucy to the vet, it is a good idea to keep an eye on her to watch for any signs of toxicity or obstruction which would be a medical emergency. These signs include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, blood in the stool or vomit, attempting to vomit or defecate without success, bloated abdomen or painful abdomen. If you see these or any other concerning signs it would be best to take Lucy to the vet ASAP. If you can't afford veterinary care this site may help you find some ideas to make it more affordable so Lucy can get the help she needs: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/having-trouble-affording-veterinary-care
