If they are tiny pieces, then likely it won't cause a blockage. Keep an eye on KD just to be safe. Signs of an obstruction include vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, diarrhea, and/or a complete absence of feces. If you see any of those signs, take him into the vet immediately. Otherwise, he should be fine. I hope this helps!
