Hi, /an/,
My chihuahua is about 11 months old now, but as of the past couple of months I've been having trouble with him finding and eating toilet paper and little pieces of plastic. I know this sounds horribly irresponsible of me, but I really don't even know where he finds them. Anyway, I know he's been eating it because I've found him whining or crying while he defecates, and found bits of plastic in his poop, and I've also lately lost several rolls of toilet paper to him tearing them up into bits, so I'm pretty sure he's eating at least some of that too.
What I'm wondering is, is there something specific that is lacking in his diet that is causing him to want to eat these things, or is he just dumb, or is there even a problem? Right now he's eating Purina little bites or Pedigree puppy food.
Pic sort of related, not my dog, but same breed and color and such.
