Leopard Gecko Diarrhea

Question
About half an hour ago I took bella out to clean her cage, and when I went to put her back she had watery diarrhea. I think I made her uncomfortable but this is the 1st time I've seen her do this. I'm not sure what to do but I just left her alone, what should I do? :(

Answer
Is the feces watery, or was it just some urine and white, chalky or paste-like urates?  If the feces was watery, it's time to schedule a vet visit.  Take a fresh (not dried out) fecal sample with you to the vet, for testing for internal parasites (a common cause of diarrhea and poor appetite in reptiles).
