Wellness is a good food. Maybe can be the treats he is getting. Make sure he is drinking plenty. Try giving him pumpkin or mineral oil. Here is the info on how much. Metamucil: Used for constipation. For small dogs use 1Ú2 a teaspoon a couple times a day, and for large dogs use up to 2 teaspoons twice a day. Mineral Oil: Used for constipation and ear mite relief. Give your canine buddy up to 4 tablespoons a day for constipation. To combat ear mites, once a day heat some oil until itŐs warm to the touch. Then put a couple of drops in the ear canal. Repeat for at least one month. Olive oil mixed with garlic can also be used as an ear mite remedy. Crush a few garlic cloves and let them soak in olive oil overnight. Then, remove the garlic, heat the oil until itŐs warm to the touch and, as with the mineral oil, place a couple drops in your dogŐs ear canal. Repeat about every other day or so, for at least one month. Oat bran and Canned Pumpkin: Also for constipation relief. Add a teaspoon or two of either to your dogs food everyday until bowel movements are regular again.
I just read that you caught him chewing on paper, so that can be the reason. I hope he start feeling better soon.
