Give him about 3 cc's of pedialite morning and night for electrolytes. I had a female with loose stool, a guy told me to give her a can of green beens. Seemed foolish to me but next day she had firm stool.
Thanks,
Bob

I had one I couldnt keep weight on with dry food. I switched him to raw (basically the fattiest ground beef you can get your hands on) and he firmed up and I could see him getting fat within a week.

If there is blood in loose stool or looks like mucus it could be Giardia never heard of it until recently had a female the same as you described took her to vet and that is what vet told me treated her doing fine after treatment

I have used Diatomaceous Earth. You can pick it up at the feed store.
