Watery yellow stool can be caused by a large number of things including illness, organ dysfunction, parasites, GI issues, too many treats, etc. If it just started recently and you are feeding new snacks or treats, removing them and only providing Charlie's diet for a few days may help resolve the issue. If the problem persists, or you see other symptoms, seeking veterinary care in person (along with bringing in a stool sample) is best to try and determine the cause and have it treated.
