Thanks for your question. Increased production of abnormal stools might be due to different causes: parasitic infestation and dietary indiscretion are the most common but other diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), intestinal bacteria overgrowth cannot be excluded at this stage. Make sure you are providing a good quality and balanced diet and if the problem is not quickly resolving I would recommend to seek your veterinarian advice and to perform a fecal analysis.
