I believe so. Stool is okay too. Vet did tell us to get a high fiber diet.
I told my stepmom to keep up with the anal glands. She won't do it, but even if she has to take him to the groomer up the street every few weeks...

Thanks! My dad and I ordered Earthborn for him online last night. Price was nice, fiber was 7%, I believe, grain-free, single source protein, etc.

Not sure
But this is weird licking... not normal for him at all. He's also licking the air, and nothing is there.
