Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If it was just one, Coco will very likely be ok. Sometimes, this can result in gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, inappetence and/or abdominal pain. If seen, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!
