Hello. My guess is Io will throw this back up in the next few days, but otherwise, I would just take a wait & see. If you are really concerned, you can take her to your vet to have her stomach emptied out ( peroxide does not work in cats ), but there is a good chance this will be irritating enough to her stomach that she will vomit on her own soon. Otherwise, please consult with your veterinarian & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
