Is it possible he was eating TP? For whatever reason they love to shred and eat that stuff.

I read on the net that light color stool is a symptom of liver stunt. Yorkies are predisposed to having liver over most breeds. You can get a bile acid test done at your vet. But if it was just that one time I wouldnt worry.

It is bile produced from the liver that determines the color of feces. But of course if they eat something that could temporarely discolor it. If it is a one time thing I would not worry but if it is chronic I would take him to the vet.
