It could be a tapeworm infection. Or some other kind of internal parasite. I've seen something like it a few times. The poo was soft and clay-like, and gray instead of brown. Two times I've also seen a piece of a worm in the poo, which was actually alive! I treated it with Praziquantel, with succes. But it's a good idea to visit a vet, to be sure what it is.
