Loose bowels

[<Hoppy> 0]

While taking my 8 month old jrt dog for his walk he always starts off with a solid bowel movement,which as a responsible owner I can scoop and dispose of.But after that he does numerous others which get thinner and more liquid as the walk goes on.I have tried different foods,I have wormed him I have walked him at different times but to no avail.On occaisions when I can't take him out because of 12 hour shifts he stays in his pen and only produces solids.I am at my wits end please help.

just sounds like nervous energy and can at time produce very loose stoools , my grey does exactly the same and big lurcher ( 1/4 kerry blue x 3/4 greyhound ) does it after running?

try mixing a bit of arrow root bought form any supermarket on a desert spoon mixed with water to a paste into his grub this will solid up the stools without causing any damage

Male dog also mark with sh*t, and I've often seen mine desperately trying to squeeze out another tiny bit of sludge as high up a bit of grass as they can in order to leave their scent: not easy when they're fed on raw food and don't have so much to produce as dry food fed dogs.
