Soft stools and diarrhea can be caused by many things including parasites , food sensitivities, and eating things that irritate/inflame the intestines. I would feed chewie a very bland diet of boiled skinless boneless chicken breast and steamed white rice until you can have a vet examine him (if the diarrhea persists).
