If there is any indication that her tummy isn't working right, vomiting, not eating, not pooping, get her to a vet and let them know that she chewed a pencil and what happened to my baby. I'm not saying that your girl is in any danger, if she chewed the wood up really well then it's probably okay, but her size worries me. Starr was a 5 lbs 3 year old adult yorkie. At least call the vet in the morning.

i'm sorry to hear about Starr. that's what i was thinking had happened. Either way its horrible. Pencils can splinter off and the pieces of it are more dangerous then the graphite inside.
