My mouse has soft poop but is improving. Should I wait or visit a vet?

Question

Hello, I got back yesterday and greeted my mouse like always. He ran around on me and then he had a soft poop on me. I put him down and later he had diarrhea twice, but then it became noticibly better as he ate more and drank more. It is now slight soft poop, but still gets his tail dirty. What do you think? Wait and see how he is by evening? Or go now to check him out? Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male | unneutered | 0.0088 lbs

If he is improving and eating and drinking normally and still has energy, then I think you could watch him tonight. If he is still having loose stools tomorrow, then I would definitely get him checked tomorrow as I don’t want him to become dehydrated. Watch him closely. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better.
