Hello, I do not believe you need to worry. Vitamin B is water soluble and therefore, in theory, any excess should be urinated out. I would recommend monitoring her for the day. If she experiences any drastic changes in behavior or appetite, she should be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
