My dog had normal poop, then liquid stool on walk. Should I worry?

Question

I am currently walking my dog, at the start of our walk he took a normal poop like he normally does. However about 20 minutes into our walk he was squatting like he was going to poop again, all that came out though was like a liquidy off color. Should I immediately be worried or wait to see if it continues. We are out of town in a new environment, could it just be a change of what he may be sniffing him or licking outside?

I am sorry to hear about Sam! If he is otherwise acting normally (normal energy, normal appetite, no vomiting) I would just monitor him and watch his next few bowel movements. Sometimes exercise can increase gastrointestinal activity, and stress can also sometimes cause some diarrhea (being out of town can be stressful). If he continues to have loose stool then seeing his vet is recommended.
