Leelo,
Is that the pic of your little guy?? He appears to be very young, they sleep all the time as a pup. They will be playing and fall over asleep.
Firs question is what do you feed. Most of the time that's a low grade food problem. If you are feeding good food, Wellness, Timberwolf, Nature's Variety etc. try pineapple. They like the taste and it makes the stools taste bad. You can use it as a treat or add to his food. A tablespoon of crushed pineapple twice a day should do the trick. Good luck.

Leeloo,
Sorry for taking so long to get back. She's adorable!!
Yes, change the food. Purina products across the board are a waste of money. Grocery store for that matter should be avoided. That includes Iams, don't feed it. Eukanuba is made by Iams and should be avoided as well, they charge an arm and a leg for crap! Find a retailer that sells better quality foods, pet supply stores a lot of times will have a better higher quality selection. It will cost more, quite a bit more, but they will eat far less and do much better on it.
I would still do the pineapple though, feed it to both of them, it should help.
