Licking or ingesting some vomit likely won't hurt Bruno, so blood work isn't really necessary. If he ingested enough to show visible signs of illness such as staggering, confusion, or weakness, then bringing him to your vet for care is best, however long term effects from a single ingestion are unlikely.
