These signs could be compatible with an infective gastroenteritis and, considering his very young age, I would recommend to have him checked as diet correction and specific treatment based on antibiotics may be needed.

This could be an undigested item that he ingested and I wouldn't be too concerned if everything else is normal, the stool is solid and you don't continue to see this in his poop. I would continue to monitor his bowels. If you continue to see this in his poop then I would have your vet take a look at him. If you go in to see the vet, I would take in a fresh poop sample so that vet can see the material you are talking about and also look at it under the microscope to help rule out bacterial infections or parasites. I hope this helps!

I don't think the color is concerning. The fact that it is not formed (soft, diarrhea) is more worrisome. There are some flecks in the stool that may be from his diet or something else he ate. All I can say is that if you are worried you should have him to your vet for an exam and a fecal test. If you just got him and he had a diet change and is a bit stressed, this stool may be normal and you can give it a few days to see if it clears up before you take him to the vet as long as he is otherwise fine (eating, drinking, playing, etc). A vet exam is never a bad idea though.

It sounds as Red is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
