Unfortunately those can cause gastrointestinal inflammation and possible obstructions (and gastrointestinal perforation). That does not happen all the time, so you want to monitor her at this stage, I would definitively recommend an immediate veterinary check up if you notice any diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
