It isn't toxic, but it could cause an obstruction. I would recommend taking Bo to the vet for evaluation now. If they suspect the tape is still in the stomach, then they may decide to induce vomiting to get it out of there. Small pieces of wood aren't a big concern, although they can sometimes cause constipation due to pain when trying to defecate them out.
