Nothing to worry, sooner or later that plastic piece will be out or it was out but hidden and you could not see it. Take care!

If she is behaving normally, it is unlikely that the piece of tape is going to cause any problems. In fact, it may be difficult to see in a normal bowel movement. Unless she begins to have problems, I would not be overly concerned. Good luck
