If you've fed Miki any treats recently or changed his diet, it's possible the watery stool could be from that. Some fruits and veggies can cause an increase in watery stools, and removing them for a few days should allow the stool to return to normal. Other issues such as parasites, illness, etc, may have prolonged watery droppings, or you may see other symptoms such as decreased eating and drinking, not being as active, etc. If removing any treats or letting Miki adjust to a new diet doesn't clear up the stool issue in a few days, or you see worsening symptoms, scheduling a vet check to rule out more serious issues is best.
