Hello, you should monitor him for any signs of vomiting. If you note any then he should be seen by a veterinarian. Ideally, the cheese and wrapper will pass without complications but if the wrapper is big enough, it may become such and cause an obstruction. Make sure that you keep him away from other foreign material in the future since he may be an indiscriminate eater. Hope this helps and best of luck.
