If your vet prescribed a gut probiotic and liver supplement then I would talk to them to see if it needs to be changed if it is affecting Rio's stool. If Rio is healthy and doesn't need the supplements, feeding him just his regular balanced diet may help improve stool quality, along with making sure he has enough water daily. If the strange stool continues, a fecal exam along with a vet visit to rule out any other health issues is a good idea.
