My dog threw up hard, plastic-like pieces. What are they, vet?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 5 years and 10 months old | 40 lbs

My dog recently puked up these things and I couldn’t figure out what they were. She is not acting any different. Today I found more in her poop. Any idea what they are? They are hard and kind of plastic like. If soaked in water they do not absorb any water

It looks like she may have chewed up something plastic, but it's hard to tell what it may have been. Keep an eye on her and make sure she continues to eat, drink and eliminate normally and she is her normal self. If she shows any sign of illness, get her in to see your vet right away.
