Hello there. As log as Charlie has good energy, is eating and drinking, is not having any vomiting, and is not having trouble with bowel movements I wouldn't worry about it. If it appears that he is constipated or bowel movements are painful for him, you could add extra water in with him food to help hydrate him, or take him to the veterinarian for evaluation. Hope this helps!
