Depending on the size of the piece, it could cause an intestinal obstruction. If it was a small piece than it will probably pass through with no problems. Monitor for any abnormal signs and have a vet take a look at her if you notice anything concerning, like lethargy, decreased appetite, or gastrointestinal signs.
