It probably didn't come out whole but rather in pieces, which should be enough to cause an intestinal blockage. I would recommend watching Tommy for a week or so for any signs of discomfort, including decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. If you see any of these, he should be checked out by a vet ASAP.
