It is possible...: It is possible that his watery stools are just a coincidence. You could try cutting back to one can and see if his stooling improves or stop altogether for a little while. Once his stooling goes back to normal, you could start things up again slowly. If things brings on the watery stools, you may need to try to find a different nutritional supplementation to help him gain weight.
