Bad Stella! She is a young puppy and they tend to find things they really like to chew and eat! This is really common due to their age and their abundant energy. I would strongly recommend to keep her in a crate whenever you cannot watch her. They are like toddlers and need to be monitored all the time. Unfortunately, there isn't a medicine that you can give her to make her stop. I would be sure to have plenty of toys that are okay for her to chew on and to help occupy her time. I would also take her on plenty of walk and play with her a lot to help expend her extra energy. You may also want to get a trainer to come to your house to help. Finally, taking her to doggy day care while you are at work could also help prevent her from being as destructive at home.
