I recommend getting a Xray done first to see how big the object is. If she is still eating fine I would put some cod liver oil into the food. If she doesn't eat you can force feed her some chicken/turkey baby food with the cod liver oil in it ( just use a few drops ). Keep giving her the baths. Then wait a few days or a week if she still is moving around fine. Then bring her back to the vet and get another Xray done to see if the object moved. If it did there is a good chance that she will poop it out. If it didn't then she might need a surgery.
My female blue/red hybrid ate a rubber cap of a metal door stopper spring ( I thought at first it was mulch until I saw the Xray ). She pooped it out a month later.
If your Tegu is on her side sometimes it could be because the object is pushing against some organs.
