Normal droppings do have a liquid component, however if they are very watery it may be a good idea to remove any extras such as treats, veggies, fruits, etc from the diet for a few days to see if this clears it up- excessive treats can sometimes cause watery stool. If that doesn't resolve the issue, looking to causes such as an internal parasite which can cause diarrhea may be best. Bringing in a stool sample to your local vet can help determine if this may be the case.
