Silver swallowed plastic

[Crocoduck]

Hi all, recently today while feeding my pond I did not notice a small piece of plastic (roughly the size of a pinky digit and the thickness of cardboard) floating in the water. My 36” silver, thinking it food, ate it and didn’t spit it out. Should i be worried and is there anything I can do should there be any problems? The silver proceeded to finish the rest of the pellets and seems to be doing fine. Thanks

Would watch and see how it responds. Wait it out and see if it gets spit back out. If not and a while I’d consider a vet for removal. I’d imagine it’ll eventually cause a prob.
