My dog(cavachon, 4) has been restless, pacing, and sometimes licking his lips. No vomiting or diahrea but seems uncomfortable. What could be wrong?

Licking the lips is a sign of nausea in dogs, so there is probably something he ate that didn't agree with his stomach. You can try to withhold food for 12 hours, then put him on boiled chicken and rice for a couple days, if he has the appetite for it of course. If the nausea continues and he won't eat anything you will need to take him to the vet to get treatment.
