It likely is his diet. A lot of the holistic or grain free diets can cause excessive stool production. It isn't something that is a medical concern however, especially i the stools are normal consistency. Perhaps you can let him stay outside for a longer period of time so that he is allowed to completely empty his colon before coming back in. Otherwise, just keep an eye on Asian and I hope that he continues to do well. If his stools do change in consistency or have visible worms, then its best to take him to your vet for treatment. Best wishes moving forward and take care.

You should monitor him closely and if it continues than he should be examined by a vet to determine if he is constipated, especially if he starts vomitng. If he is not in a confined space, maybe he went somewhere and you just haven't discovered it, yet.
