If your dog has ingested a foreign body there is always a possibility of an issue with it passing or causing choking/GI problems. If Oggy is choking, can't seem to breathe, you see parts of the broom still stuck in his mouth, or he is vomiting or having diarrhea, tender abdomen, blood in stool, etc it would be best to seek veterinary care immediately.
