I don't think it'll hurt him. It should pass through his system fairly soon. Watch him over the weekend to be sure that his bodily functions continue normally. If he seems to be "plugging up" (abdominal swelling, lethargy, apparent discomfort, lack of bowel movements), or if you are still concerned Monday, call your veteranarian and ask what you should do (the telephone is cheaper than the vet!)

He'll be fine. The good part is that after he takes a dump you'll have a little handle to pick the turd up with.

Just watch him, make sure he is not in distress, and wait for it to pass. That just means you may have to break apart the poop to make sure it came out the other end. . .

i dont think you need to unless he acting a little weird it'll probably use the bathroom and it'll come out with the rest
