Oh boy, that may not be good. Corn husks are not broken down in the GI tract, and cause obstructions. It could be this corn husk is causing Hobbes a problem now if he's vomited a bit of it and is now only having small bowel movements. I would take him into a vet immediately for an x-ray. Best of luck.
