Ask your vet about the benefits of a long course of antibiotics. Liquid paraffin may help but there's an underlying cause somewhere.

A half a cup of sugar and a little water will shift anything thats stuck. Liquid parrafin is very good for once off use but continuous use of it will oil the stomach meaning nutrients cannot be absorbed and kills them.
