Thanks for reaching out about Mojo and including a photo. The droppings appear polyuric (increased urine). The urates are loose and urine voluminous, but this is just one dropping. If they all appear like this, then increased there is probably a concern. Kidney and liver disease, reproductive activity, stress, increased water consumption, diabetes and other causes are possible. A veterinary examination is still recommended. Good luck.
