I suspect the two events are not related since t was 6 hours later. Just like humans, there are many many causes of vomiting and some of the causes can be very serious. Any pet vomiting beyond 24 hours should be examined by the veterinarian. I recommend to have Hershey examined if needed. Here is a link about vomiting which may have helpful information:
