Wow and I was going to guess Shep...They tend to have lower bowel issues that require a special enzmye from your vet in their diet. I would have your vet check the stool for that but in the mean time, I would feed him something blanf like boiled hamburger and white rice to see if that helps friim them up but you reall need to find the underlying cause so a vet visit is really needed at some point soon.Good Luck!
