Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the pieces are very small they will likely pass through the GI tract and come out in her stool. If you are concerned that the pieces are big and it just happened contact a vet to discuss inducing vomiting. They can decide if the pieces are too big to be thrown up. Otherwise watch for lethargy, belly pain, vomit and not wanting to eat as that can be symptoms of a blockage. I wish Mazzy the best!
