Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. That appears to be a seed of sorts. I’m not sure what kind, but the outer shell appears intact. If Ella is otherwise acting normally and not having any other clinical signs (diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, decreased appetite), then I would recommend monitoring her at home. If she has any of these signs, then she may need to be evaluated by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!
