If he has a history of ingesting items he isn't supposed to eat, them a visit to the nearest veterinary ER tonight would be recommended. An exam and abdominal x-rays may diagnose or rule out a foreign body. If he has no other symptoms, you can try withholding food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount if there is no vomiting. If he continues to vomit, stop feeding and see your veterinarian. If he keeps the food down, feed bland for 2-3 days then transition slowly to the regular diet. Other symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian include lethargy, diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain or straining to defecate.
