Difficult to know exactly what this material is, but if there is the doubt of a foreign body ingestion a clinical examination at your local veterinarian would be immediately essential to rule it out and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
