Dog eating paper

Question
Hi!


My dog has been eating alot of paper,  he also has been chewing on plastic bottle caps and God knows what.  He has thrown up twice over the Holidays, we thought just from excitement.  There seemd to be alot of hair in his vomit.  Today we took him for a run and he had a small amount of bleeding from hismoth.  He may have just bit his tongue or something.  We don't have alot ofmoneyfor a vet bill right now because of Christmas.  What should we do?

Answer
Hello Julie,
          Well for now buy him some chew toys to bite on (there cheap) so he'll stop chewing on paper towels and stuff. The throwing up should have been caused by that. And make extra special sure that he doesn't eat the bottle caps if those things go tearing in his stomach you are going to have a big bill. If it still continues after the holidays then take him to the vet, good luck with that!
