If only a small piece was ingested there was likely not enough garlic to cause any problems. If you notice that Lou begins to develop any symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, inappetance, etc. Then I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
