Hi and thanks for using Pet Coach! If Gizmo is acting otherwise normally I would start out with trying a probiotic for 30 days. Also, it is very common for puppies and young adult dogs to have intestinal parasites so if he has not been dewormed you should consider doing that as well. If no improvement after these treatments or if he is acting sick in any way I suggest you get him to a vet for an exam. These are the products I would recommend: ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1130-purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets-fortiflora-dog-supplement-box-of-30.aspx ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1054-safe-guard-canine-dewormer.aspx ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
