No worries. If she did overeat, she will pass it likely on her own. As long as she is still playful, let he go about her normal activity and then perhaps give her only a portion of her normal amount of food at the next feeding, to ensure she doesn't become constipated. Her stomach should go back to normal soon. Best of luck with your fur baby Nyla moving forward. Take care!
