I have had Max for only 2 weeks now and when I got him from the foster home (pet rescue), she said his only issue was some diarrhea and soft stool.

He is 10 months old. He was on some medication which I had to complete for about a 7 day period. I did that and the stool is better overall but still has some bad ones from time to time. Almost to the point of diarrhea consistency.

He just got neutered 3 weeks ago. I changed his dog food from Great Life to Blue Bufalo over a 5 day period (last Thursday was his last day of switching over).

I do give him dental chews (but the healthy digestible ones - Zuke's Z-Ridge, carrot version) and some Chicken wrapped Yam treats. Raw carrots are the only human food I give him as snacks (and just a little of that). Absolutely nothing else. I did just start using Grizzly Salmon Oil once per day in his food as well since about 2 days ago.

He's only had 1 really good hard stool. The rest have either been ok or soft or runny. It's not diarrhea in the sense that he has uncontrollable bowel movements. He always goes on schedule outside. It's just that it's really really soft sometimes.

All his fecal tests came back ok. The medications were for helping to harden his stool.

I heard adding raw canned pumpkin to his diet is a good solution to hardening the stool.

Just wondering what others have had to resort to with their Yorkies.

Thanks in advance for replying.
