Answer

It sounds like hie is sick from eating non food items.
You should see a vet as he may have an intestinal obstruction or intestinal injuries from the sharp edges of what he ate.
Eating of non food items is called Pica which you can read about here

He may need help ridding himself of the rest of the debris. He may also need fluids to keep from getting dehydrated.
Call your vet and see if they want to see him.
You may want an x-ray or ultrasound to see what is going on with his intestinal tract.
Hope this helps you!
