This looks like some kind of foreign material to me - it looks like it could be rubber. It does not look like any kind of parasite to me. If Duker is continuing to vomit (I’m assuming this is from vomit) I would recommend seeing a veterinarian. They might want to do some x-rays to make sure there is not evidence of an obstruction.
