Maybe you should go back to a single protein that you know he does well on. I think you mentioned chicken? Is it complete whole ground chicken with bone? Feed this for a couple of weeks before adding in anything else. If you want to add tripe at this point make sure to introduce a very small amount. It is very rich and will cause diahrea if you give him too much. My 5lb papillon has an extremely sensitive tummy and will get diahrea very quickly if her diet is too rich.
I blend the proteins together and measure out 1.5oz portions to feed her 3 times per day. This way her meals are fairly consistent.
The recipe I use is:
16oz ground turkey with bone
4oz ground chicken without bone
4oz beef offal or beef tripe
Too much bone will be constipating but too much rich protein will cause diahrea.
Good luck with your little guy
