Dexter will probably be able to pass the absorbent pad that is under a piece of raw meat. If he ingested pieces of styrofoam you may want to contact your veterinarian about inducing vomiting which could be successful if done in the next hour or so. Otherwise I'd recommend watching him for a decrease in appetite, vomiting or diarrhea which could be signs of obstruction or gastroenteritis from the raw meat.
