Canned pumpkin (not the pie stuffing kind since it has spices in it) is given to firm up stools, but if given too much, it has the opposite effect. How much are you giving him? Sounds like he's goin too much! Lol Maybe give once a day, about a teaspoon? Green beans are also supposed to firm up stools (fiber) but again, if given too much...too much comin out. I feed mine green beans only once a day in the morning. Only one string per Yorkie (2-3"long chopped up). Maybe give him teaspoon pumpkin for breakfast & green beans for dinner or vise versa.
