It sounds like Kobe may be exhibiting signs of anxiety. Try to get him back on a regular schedule and make sure he is getting plenty of human interaction and exercise. You can also try supplements like Zylkene or Comfort Zone Adaptil Collars or Diffusers. Also, make sure that Kobe has plenty of appropriate dog toys to chew on if he is bored; you may even get a couple puzzle toys where he has to do something to get a treat to fall out of the toy. When you are gone, remove any clothing or bedding to avoid Kobe chewing off a piece that could potentially get stuck in his intestines. If he starts vomiting or stops eating, he may need an exam with the vet to check for blockage or other illness.
