Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! My main concern with this is that may result in gastrointestinal obstruction. I would monitor him closely for signs of an obstruction such as vomiting, anorexia and/or abdominal pain. If these are seen, I recommend you have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible to determine if she is obstructed. If that was the case, surgery may be needed. Otherwise, she is likely going to be fine if she is able to pass it. Best of luck!
