two things i keep in great supply:
1. slippery elm bark
2. no salt chicken broth
fasting is also something i will do occasionally.
how long has this been going on? and what is your dog fed?

If he is fed kibble and he didn't get into anything I would take a fecal into the vet to rule out something like giardia which is common this time of year. If you know that he got into something he shouldn't have then I would fast him for 24 hours. I use Pepto and Immodium on ocassion if my dogs get unruly running poo for unexplained reasons and it works beautifully.

He had the giardia vaccine 4 months ago when we experienced our first disgusting mishap with that... at this point he takes a super soft but formed poo and then tons of little tiny strained ones, so it doesn't look like giardia yet.
As per him getting into stuff... he never eats anything but he loves to find paper and give me presents. I think ill try the immodium at bed time and see what tomorrow morning brings:)

Your sure your not over feeding? Did you just recently switch kibble? I like Go Natural, but maybe the duck doesn't agree with him...If they are semi formed and then runny towards the end and runny the rest of the day it usually means over feeding, try cutting back on the amount and see if that helps at all..Good Luck!

Yeah I agree with whiteleo. Maybe the duck is too rich? When I had my pug on duck kibble before switching to raw, her poops were really soft and squishy and smelled awful. Or it could be just that you are feeding a bit too much. Is someone sneaking him treats behind your back maybe?
