Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may cause gastrointestinal upset or she may be fine depending on the amount eaten and how well tolerated it is. Watch her closely for signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting inappetence, nausea, and/or vomiting. If any of these are observed, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, she may be fine. Best of luck!
