No relax. It will come out. (if you know what I mean)
Now if your dog ate a whole bunch that might upset the stomach.
If it ate something like a small ball that the stomach could not digest-that might get caught somewhere and it could be big problems
My friends dog ate a whole bar of soap once-ooohhhh-the mess.
But your fine. I raise dogs and do a lot of my own medical. If your dog gets the poops let me know. I have a sure stop.
Again relax-your dog is fine.

Dogs have no problem digesting the gum. Dogs eat every thing and gum is the least of your concerns. Now if your dog starts blowing a bubble in the wrong direction then you might seek help. lol

How big is she? If she ate a full piece of gum with her being small, it could case a blockage problem or something. Take her to the vet. Aldo if it has aspertaime(like sweet and low), instead of sugar, that could be a problem.

noting should happen under normal circumstances but just to be careful u could give the pup a very mild laxative cos its a pup and wont be able to take a strong dose of a laxative
puppies stomachs normally digest most stuff unless its not digestable the pup will almost certainly throw it up
so dont worry ive had experience with pups for the past 15 years

If she didn't swallow TOO much gum, it should pass
through without any problem, although the puppy might blow a few bubbles in the process.

Probably not. Haven't you ever eaten a piece of gum?

I hope she will be OK.
by now the problem has probably sorted itself out.

no, she won't choke on the gum, but the dog might blow on it.

Depends. If it was juicy fruit she's cool, if it was bubblicious then she might fart it out.
