I would watch Ollie really closely. He could potentially pass this or it could be big enough to get stuck. I would feed him a high fiber canned diet for a few days to help him pass it. You can ask your vet what they have but I like science diet W/D or R/D. If he starts vomiting or having diarrhea or stops eating I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to do x-rays and see if he has an obstruction. I hope this helps!
