You can give him 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin (pure pumpkin, not pie filling) twice a day to help push things through. Please do your best to keep him away from eating these type of objects. You are very lucky he passed them and they did not get stuck in his intestines. You may not be that lucky next time.
