Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You need to take Brandi to a veterinarian. Wood pieces can have very sharp edges and can cause damage or even perforation of the stomach/intestines. This could be a very serious issue. Please take her to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
