Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is very possible that Chewy will be ok. However, twinkies are quite rich and can cause gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence. If that is observed, I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. Otherwise, he is likely going to be fine. Good luck and have a good night!
