I took my turtle right away to the vet...luckily I got appointment fot the vet for next day. Also I was keeping eye on her stool to see is the camping mat coming out or not or can she pass anything. I was afraid that there will be obstruction. Next day on our car ride to the clinic she pooped two times and there was camping mat...yay.
I will remember the face expression of the vet for a long time after that visit when I showed him that piece of mat. His word were "These nematodes are small problem compared to the mat you've ate." He advised me to keep her drydocked and when I put her in the water keep an eye on her that she couldn't recycle her poop. It was a very exhausting week.
I suggest you also keep an eye on Sheldons poop. Scoopit out and don't let him eat that also you can see is there any basking dock pieces. As long as he can pass that and he popps the situation is not the worst.
I collected all these pieces to see how much is still missing or everything is out. I advise you to do the same.
