Since you can’t be sure how long ago this occurred I probably wouldn’t recommend making Hestia vomit because it may already be out of her stomach. All you can do now is watch for GI symptoms, like inappetance, vomiting, and diarrhea, as these could indicate a blockage. If you notice any of these symptoms it is best to take her in to her vet as soon as possible for xrays. If it was a small piece of cloth chances are good that she will pass it with no issues. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
