I would just keep an eye on Buddy. Aloe vera ingestion can cause vomiting and diarrhea, but it is usually self-limiting, meaning it usually gets better without treatment. If he starts to have symptoms, offer him plenty of fluids (water, broth, pedialyte). Since he is so tiny, I would not recommend withholding food, but try for bland foods like chicken breast and cooked white rice. If the symptoms last long than 24 hours, he needs to be treated by a vet. Here is info on aloe vera ingestion: https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/aloe-vera/
