That's pretty abnormal stool, and if Mufasa is also running a fever it would be best to bring him back into your vet. I would bring a sample of that stool in with you so the vet can take a look and test it for issues to see if a more specific cause can be found. It is possible he is having trouble digesting something, ate something he shouldn't, or has an illness that is greatly affecting his GI tract and requires more intensive care.
