Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. This may pass without problem. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, or lethargy, have her seen by a vet immediately. I would monitor her (and check her poop for the ring) over the next three days. Best of luck.
