If only Caesar could talk! This type of behavior could be related to something medical like a stomach ache or it could be behavioral. The greenish color of the stool can indicate bacterial infection as well. Unfortunately, it's impossible to know which one is the cause without a physical exam and checking the stool. I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian who will check for abnormalities on the physical exam. They may also try a trial of medications to soothe the stomach. Since he can't talk, it's best to play it safe. Best of luck.
