Whats happening to my pup?

Hi.. So my cousin left for Florida, his dog; a 6 year old Dashcund (Wiener Dog) is left to me until today at Noon! I gave him exactly 2 and half slices of ham in the past 3 days.... He's been pooping every two hours or more since yesterday (it's light toasted brown, very smushy, lightly weighted! and it smells infectionous like a ear wax thats been in your ear for a year!) The ham was the only human food I gave him... his peestick (; is light pink but still normal and a little white. He sleeps most of the day. He eats dog food, and still drinks aqua. His bladder is just fine. He doesn't really play with the toys. What's happening?!?! I can take him to the vets at 11:00.

If you know what it is, tell me what it is. How do I friggen' make this Dog better? I don't disturb him.

Update:

He's been here for five days, and he loves me and my Dad. He loves it here.

Can anyone tell me if he will be ok?

Update 2:

The ham is orignal. but on the crust which he did have a smich of is smoked.

    Sounds like a stomach ache could of been something in the ham and or the seasoning,

    Abnormal amount of poop ( soft as well) points to digestion/gut problems. Stress could be a factor, although its likely the high salt content of the food upset his gut. Take him to the vet to be checked out, as it isn't your dog and abnormal faces can point to all kinds of problems that may have nothing to do with the ham you fed him. eg. bacterial gut infection, which is common in new surroundings.

    Ham is bad for dogs. It gives them stomach problems. He'd be okay if you would feed him dog food!

    And he just got thrown into a strange home, he's definately not going to be acting normally.

    Maybe not giving him his normal food has upset his tummy.
