Hi there. So sorry this happened. The photos are nice and clear but unfortunately I am unable to identify exactly what they may have been. That definitely looks like some type of tissue but what exactly, I don't know. It could be a cuterebra (bot fly). https://www.petful.com/pet-health/cuterebra-treatment/ If it was a bot fly she ingested it from the environment. It is not living inside her. I don't know if it is a cuterebra so I suggest you get her to your vet for an exam and a deworming just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps.
