Hi...it might come out, but she needs X-ray abdomen. By dong an X-ray, we know the chain is in the gut. If it doesn't come out in 24 hours, we need to repeat the X-ray and ascertain where it is again. So I suggest you take to the nearest emergency room and get her evaluated and X-ray of the abdomen and chest taken and then wait for the chain to come out.
