If it is a tiny bit of the nipple, it will likely just pass through the intestinal tract and be eliminated with the feces. Should Oreo start vomiting or get diarrhea, he needs to be seen by a vet as then the rubber piece may cause a blockage. However I think there is a much greater chance that it will pass through without causing a problem.
