If he just ate them you can attempt to make him vomit. He can have 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide by mouth. It may take up to 15 minutes for him to vomit. If he does not vomit, DO NOT give more peroxide. Get him to the vet ASAP. Even if he does vomit that does not mean everything will come up so if in the day or so he starts acting sick (not eating, vomiting, lethargic) then you need to get him to your vet ASAP as he could have something stuck in his intestines.
