Why is my dog's poop green and soft after new treats? What to do?

Question

We were walking JC when he went to the bathroom and we realized his stool was Light almost neon green. It was softer than usual. He recently did start eating new treats about five days ago but we aren't sure if it's that or something else. Two days ago it was yellowish and very soggy. Could you tell me what it might be and what we should do? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 8 months old | 7.5 lbs

This could be due to the new treats, as sudden changes in diets can lead to stool changes. I can give you a home remedy for JC to see if it helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
