If he only vomited the one time, then I would continue to see how things go. If he continues to vomit and develops other symptoms such as refusal to eat, vomiting up water, or becoming lethargic, then I would definitely worry about a foreign body obstruction and get him seen right away. But so far, it sounds like he is doing pretty good considering he ate something he shouldn't have. Best of luck with your puppy Charlie and I hope that he does well moving forward. Take care.
