This sign could be due to diarrhoea and commonly compatible with gastrointestinal infection/inflammation. I would recommend a check up at your local veterinarian and appropriate treatment which will be possibly based on antibiotics. A fecal sample could be quite helpful for your veterinarian to confirm or rule out this clinical suspicion.
