There isn't a way to remove it again. I don't recommend making Joy vomit since this isn't safe. Even though some of it came up, there is likely more that was left in the stomach. You should watch Joy closely over the next week. If she isn't eating well, continues to vomit, or is lethargic, she may have an intestinal blockage and you should call your vet.
