I think my BD may have eaten a thin piece of grocery bag. Can you guys think of anything to help push it through? I was just about to give her a quarter syringe of vegetable oil to help it move.

Vegetable oil is the only thing I can think of.

Ladyknite suggested these things in the constipated beardies post (they should work in this case as well I would think):

"canned pumpkin, cut up parsley in their salad (natural laxative), olive oil"

She passed it about 4 days later. All of it came out in one string. She is eating though her appetite is diminished.

it most likely added stress to the internal system.  I'd give it 2 weeks, then run a fecal for a coccidia level check
