Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If it was just the nugget without bone then he is likely to be just fine. If he continues to show discomfort in the next few hours, I recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, he is likely going to be fine. Best of luck!
