I would recommend contacting Midnight's vet about this. Depending on how long ago he ate it it may be recommended to induce vomiting and to try to get him to throw up the sheet. Otherwise closely monitor him for the next few days to weeks for any sign of intestinal blockage; which can include vomiting, straining to defecate, painful in the abdomen, not eating or drinking. I would also recommend monitoring his stools so you'll be aware when it passes. Best of luck and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
