Hello. If she is not having any difficulties passing her stool, she should be fine. I might go ahead & feed her 1-2 teaspoons of canned pumpkin ( not pie filling ) with each meal over the next 2-3 days just to be sure all the foil has been pushed through. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
