Everytime he moves round he leaves some sort of 'deposit' and he has been like ever since his accident. The vet did say before his operation that due to the damage caused to his pelvis that this would be the one area of concern i.e that he wouldn't be able to go - but as he's able to go she didn't seemed concerned.

There could be two things here - either it is the fact that you are swapping his diet too quickly or it could be the drugs he is on (if any). I agree you should speak to the vet again about his diet or indeed his drugs - it could be a side effect of those and the vet may be able to amend his medication.
Personally I wouldn't worry too much about your home as it will always be there but Harry won't - you are only graced with these animals for a short period of time and as you say he can't help what has happened to him.
Just read about his passing - so sorry to hear that.
