Mucus in the Stool in Dogs

My 8 month mini Aussie has been kind of slow these past couple days and is avoiding her food and water. She pees very little at a time and usually twice with in 3 minutes of the first. She's had diarrhea and solid stole but the solid was covered in mucus but no blood. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!

I just brought a 9 week old lab/sherpherd mix puppy home 2 weeks ago. For the first week she was crate trained and had no accidents. Last week we switched her dog food from Pedigree Puppy to a brand from Tractors Supply made specifically for lab puppies and since she has had accidents in her crate every night between 2:30-3am. So I started feeding her earlier in the day and having her last meal around 5pm...she still had poopy accidents in her crate. While I'm at work I leave her in the garage with access to some yard space...after about 10 hours she usually has 8-10 piles of bowel movements. Most are soft and mucous-like. I do feed her Nyla bone treats-Filet Mignon flavored and she loves them but could they be the cause? I also gave her worming medicine this past Sunday to see if perhaps she had worms but I haven't seen any in her feces. The mucous is real thick like-like a mucous plug. She shows no other symptoms...no fatigue, no bloating. She has scooted her butt on the ground a couple of times. Any suggestions?

Hi I have a 11w lab German Shepard mix last night he started vomiting and had a fever with slightly loose stool very sluggish almost 24 hours later he is now pooping a tanish mucus nothing else he has slightly perked up will drink an pee but does not want to eat his food

Our 10 year old Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix Princess has been having a lot of trouble with bloating, mucous in her stool, lethargy, vomiting bile and a severe increase in thirst. She has got to the point to where she will get excited about something for about 2 minutes and then is down for the rest of the day with very little energy to pick herself up. I have had multiple tests run and everything they have checked has come out ok (liver, kidneys, blood sugar,exc.) I dont know what else to do but i cant stand to watch her suffer like this.

Hi, my dog got into some chocolate and a rotisserie chicken about 2-2/5
Weeks ago. She had diarrhea for a few days then seemed to be better. But now she is having mucus Covering her stools and slight amount of diarrhea. Should we be concerned. I’m worried don’t know what to do.

My 4 yr old miniature poodle has had loose stools on and off for years with no identified reason. The past month she has had a lot of mucus and loose stool. She has no other symptoms otherwise, healthy and active. She has always had digestive issues on and off, vomits a few times a month for no reason (but she gulps her food and a greedy eater)She also scratches and licks a lot. I suspect allergies, but have tried isolating different ingredients and can't identify anything in particular. Then for weeks she will have normal stool confusing it even further. She does not have access to eating foreign things as she is in the house or under observation on walks.
A few months ago I slowly introduced a different kibble to remove her off high lentil/pea kibble. First I tried Nutrisource and slowly switched to Fromm Gold for adult dogs which she has been on for a couple of weeks. I give her 1/3c kibble in the morning, and for years I have mixed 1/3 can Wellness Core Healthy Cuts with her kibble at evening meal. (I have to be careful about giving her canned that has too much fat) Even though he diet is stable - same thing every day (plus 3 small puppy biscuits) she still has mucus in her stool and frequent bowel movements. No vomiting, not lethargy, no stretching etc
I have given her Proviable probiotic in the past for loose stool so am starting her on it again. Pumpkin does not help.
(I might add I have an 8 year old mini on the same food, and she is having no problem

My puppy Sam 5months corgi/mini aussie mix. His poop was brown, formed & soft one day. He would ask to go outside and has not had an accident inside the home for 3 months. One day he was incontinent of urine & his poop was green diarrhea mucus looking; he would void & poop at least once every hour. (4 days now) Appetite & thirst went unchanged, we did not change his food diet. Energy, playfulness has remained the same. Not lethargic. Anyone have any ideas?

Our 2 month old pup has had a bit of mucus and blood in her stool the last two nights. It is not every time but it has happened twice in the last 6 poop. She has a great appetite and drinks water. She is also playing with the other dog like normal. She shows no signs of discomfort or slowing down. Today the bit of blood and mucus was much less then yesterday. I spoke with the vet and they saidnto watch hydration and energy level and it's not changing. She's had three designers so far and I'm worried if I should do another. Again less blood then before, doesn't always have blood or mucus in the stool, and always energy eating and drinking.

Evy has been having a normal feces during the day, but overnight about twice a week, she has been having diarrhea for the past month. She acts normal and still has great appetite like before. However, she had a diarrhea with mucus like with some red blood last night. Still acting normal and asking for food. I have never seen her had mucus like with blood.
This all started right after she was taken care by our friend for a week while we were gone for a vacation. But it wasn't the first time that she spent time with my friend.
We've also moved from a large backyard home to a much smaller apartment about 5months ago. Could it be due to stress? or should we be alarmed for something else?
we take her for walks at least twice a day, She is still very active.

i have 3 border collies. two of them, a male named Cullen and a female named Ruby are 8 and are litter mates. Izzy is 6 and has the same mom. a week ago ruby started have some mucus at the end of an otherwise normal poop. Izzy started a few days ago with the same thing. No urgency to go out, no blood, eating like normal (put them both on chicken rice and a little pumpkin for 24 hours after a 12 hour fast and all seemed fine. a few days later when i add their normal orijen to the mix. both are still having mucous covered stool at the end of a normal bowel movement. I took stool samples to vet and they did a comprehensive but it came back negative. the only difference between the two girls and my boy cullen is he is not scavenger. They have a tendency to eat bunny poop and grass. they are house/yard dogs and are never left alone outside. recently we have had deer in our suburban back yard and they have been leaving their poop which i clean up before dogs come out. I am just at a loss any help or ideas. One other change is that my three small grand kids have been here on and off for 2 weeks and the dogs had to be gated. could the change be stress?

For the last few weeks we have experienced bouts of runny, mucusy diarrhoea. I try the starving for 24 hours and then start her on Rice and cooked Chicken for a day, before putting her back on her normal diet of Chappie dried Food. Things appear to be alright then the diarrhoea with mucus starts again. I did mention it to the Vet, last week, who gave her Milbractor(worming tablet I think). I am worried about going back to the vet and what they might say, she does get very stressed when I do take her to the Vet surgery and she is 10 years old. By the way during all this time she doesnt demonstrate any other signs of ill health.

I noticed my puppy Penny has been pooping like normal, but there is mucus as well as faint traces of bright red blood. Her poop looked normal this morning, but then a couple hours later I saw her poop had the mucus and blood in it. I'm concerned that it may be something serious, but it may be her diet. She has been eating grown up dog food for the past couple days because I ran out of puppy chow. I thought maybe it would be okay just until I could get her more food...but now I am not so sure. Could it be the food? Or something more serious? She isn't up to date with all of her vaccines either.

I have a 3 month old great dane that has had his first round of distemper and is due for the next round this Tuesday. He was treated for hookworms and whipworms the day got him and has been perfectly healthy since. He is fed purina for large breed puppies and as far as we know he has not eaten anything foreign. He is always under super vision or crated. If we walk him it's only outside our apartment to go to the bathroom and then right back inside (to limit the risk of parvo.) for the last two days now he has been having loose / runny unformed stool with tons of mucus in it. no blood. We looked for worms but could not see any. Prior to this he emptied his anal glands on his own while sleeping. (why would this happen? and is it related?) His appointment is Tuesday and my question is it okay to wait to take him until then if he is showing no other symptoms? (no vomiting, lethargy, no loss of appetite ect) and we have a cat I don't want her to pick up any parasites or viruses from him. From this description do you think it is parasitic or colitis related?

My dog pooped twice this morning, which is unusual for her. The first was normal. The second was soft but still in form with mucus and a small amount of bright red blood. There also appeared to be a small clot in on the surface of the feces. This bowel movement seemed to come on urgently as she popped up from laying down to defecate immediately. Otherwise, she is acting normally, eating and drinking normally. I didn't see her eat anything she shouldn't have over the past day.

My dog's second poop of the day has been half solid half mushy for about 4 days now. When we go out in the morning he has a normal stool. Today I noticed some mucus and was wondering if it might be stress induced since he was with my parents for a week, even though he has been to their house and knows them. He doesn't have any other symptoms and is eating and drinking normally. He has a normal temperament. He is about 1 and doesn't have any medical conditions.

18 week old puppy had on and off diarrhea for a week. Took him to the vet, got 1wk oral suspension panacur, 1 wk metronidazole, and fortiflora. Per vets advice, I added rice to the food. Stool firmed up, and medication ended Sunday night (panacur), and monday morning (metronidazole). No missed doses, no change in diet other than adding some rice. Tuesday and today (Wednesday), he would not eat his first two (of four daily) meals. He was a bit lethargic, but still insisted on playing several short rounds of fetch (3-5 minutes, instead of our typical 35-45 minute session). He would not even eat ice cubes, which he LOVES. Around 1 pm on both days, he was normal again. Playful, hungry, excitable. Stool up until today (Wednesday evening), were normal. Then it was purely mucus. Clear, with a slight poop font, but definitely not yellow, green or bloody at all.

Does he need to return to the vet or is he now just not a morning "person"?

Maybe the metro upset his stomach in the mornings and hes afraid to eat breakfast?

My 3 month old golden retriever was on an antibiotic regimen for vaginitis immediately after we bought her. She came home not urinating correctly so we took her right to the vet. She was on antibiotics for 12 days and has finished the course and had 3 days after completing her antibiotics with no issue. No she is constantly having diarrhea, most recently I have noticed a clear mucus as well. I’m not to sure what to do as she is acting completely normal energy and appetite wise. Thanks for your help.

My German Shepherd has diarrhea off an on for about a week. We have not changed anything with his food or our normal life routine since we rescued him two years ago. I noticed today while cleaning up his mess that he had mucus in his stool. He eats Purina ONE. No table food at all.

6 year old yorkie. 3 days ago, vomit and diarrhea. Yesterday, no symptoms. This morning, foamy vomit, large clump of yellow mucus in stool. Midday, still mostly yellow mucus. Tonight, passed smelly gas once and moments later felta wet spot on the bed, brown liquid like liquid poop. Her stool is initially firm then diarrhea at the end. Good appetite. Drinking fine. Playful.

I have a 12 year old min pin that woke up this morning with bloody mucus stool. He is lethargic and running a fever. I talked to my vet and he said to worm him but I'm not sure how to help him otherwise. Is there anything else I can do for him. How long will it take before I get him to start acting normal again.

Hi, I have a dog he’s a half retriever. Recently, I noticed that he has a yellow-brown loose stool with mucus. He usually defecate twice a day, some of his stool is hard but the next time he defecates its loose with mucus. He’s still has an appetite and quite active. We usually feed him meat and dog food (beef pro). I’m kind of worried about his stool, what should I do?

Puppy started having diarrhea with clear mucus, he’s lethargic, and had fever. He’s eating and drinking. Vet looked at him and prescribed probiotics and antibiotics in case it’s an overgrowth of bacteria. But the diagnosis is not 100% this is his second day with a fever

my dog has had diarrhea from Thursday night
normal personality, sleeping and drinking. We kept her no solid food for 24 hours I fed her Saturday night boiled hamburg and rice,
today same but not eating
today she has amber colored stool liquid and mucous
squirts all over every two hours, night time is accident time because we are sleeping.
She is 8 years old, mini poodle. Can I give her lomitil? I was thinking she is 18 lbs, may have lost weight with this illness so 1 mg?

She only vomitted twice over the last 3 days no relation to eating or drinking

For about three days my dog has been pooping mucus along with her stool. The mucus has increased in the poop. I give her fish oil once a day in her food for her dry skin. I just started the oil about a week ago. We are on antibiotic for vaginitis. We feed her a kibble diet with wet food. It’s a raw based kibble/wet food diet. Grain free.

My 10 pound 1 year old chihuahua 3 days ago had defecated 4 huge piles of loose stool plus vomited once. yesterday only twice which is normal for her and were very very hard. Today first stool very dark almost black then huge amount of very dark vomit with chunks of odd looking stuff in it that i did not feed her. Came home and found 2 piles of runny light brown stool that was mostly clear runny mucus. noticed a small skin tag looking thing right in edge of anus.very smelly diarreah smell around butt, gave bath and still there

My dog has had really lose stool but now it has Hardened and has a little mucus in it. Also this morning she woke up and was crying and had like a little foam. Now she is eating and drinking and playing just fine but still has the kinda lose stool. Should I be worried and take her to a vet or should I just watch her?

My dog has Diarrhea for past 2 days. the first day was loose unformed stool. Frequency is 2 or 3 times a day. Mucus is present in some outings and absent in some. He is on boiled chicken and rice diet with probiotic powder sprinkled on top. He is eating fine and is his normal active self but water intake is low. Stool color is light or medium brown and has gained form at the end of day 2.

I have a 2 yr old lab who has loss of appetite, lethargic, and when he tries to poop only mucas comes out. The mucas has a slight pink color to it. We went to the vet yesterday. His blood work came back normal and he didn't have any abdominal pain upon examination. The vet gave us anti diarrhea medicine. Little to no change in my dogs status today. He is drinking water and urinating normally. How soon before I need to take him back to the vet? Could he have an obstruction in his lower intestines?

Our 7 year old boarder collie has been having a great deal of trouble passing her stool for about 2 months now. When it does come, it is usually very loose, and covered in mucus. She strains and stains for sometimes 15 minutes, often with nothing coming out. Other times, it just dribbles out of her as she walks around the house, leaving many little drops of diareah, sometimes all liquid, and sometimes it dribbles out while she sleeps. We have taken her to the vet, who did blood tests and said they came back good. She changed her diet to medical food, and has us giving her medication both to help move her bowels, and also to try to prevent loose stool, but nothing has changed, and frankly I'm getting very worried about her. She does eat and drink normally, but she has gotten much more lethargic, and looks just plain miserable. Should I change vets? Please help if you can, I love my dog and hate to see her so uncomfortable.

Hi, we have a puppy that came to us at 10 weeks with hookworm and bloody diarrhea, which was treated right away. Stool sample afterwards came back negative. His stools were normal after that but we would notice the occasional fleck of light red colored mucus (like inside of a tomato) in his stool. It seemed to go away for a while but has come back and he now gets occasional diarrhea and we've seen him poop just mucus a few times. Most of his stools are solid but these symptoms are interspersed every 3 or 4 poops. Sometimes in the mornings, he his stomach/GI makes a lot of gurgling noises and he won't eat or drink until about lunch. He otherwise has a very healthy appetite and high energy. We feed him a grain free all stages food (Pinnacle). He was on the salmon "flavor" but we just switched him to chicken flavor and also increased his meals from 2 to 3 per day to see if it helps. Should we take him to the vet if that doesn't work? And should we collect the mucus for stool sample or a regular stool?

Hi there- my friend watched my dog while I was away for two days and since I have been back (it has been 5 days now) he has had loose stool and the past few days it has been an orange mucus color. I have been giving him rice and chicken to help harder his stool but nothing has changed. His demeanor has been normal, playful, energetic and he has an appetite. He has been waking me up in the middle of the night to take him out potty. He can hold his bladder through the night so I am getting concerned that this isn't going away.

My 8 year old american staffie was diagnosed with 4 mast cell tumors two years ago. It has since then increased in size, popped up new ones, and re-growth in areas of excision before. She is now vomiting every day and her stools are primarily mucous. I understand the cancer may have spread to her GI tract. Despite her cancer progressing and spreading; she is still happy to see us when we get home. Do you think it is time to help her pass on?

Hi i have a 4 month puppy, im taking care of a senior dog and my puppy ate his food. Then, she vomited twice (i could tell she ate the other dogs food because it looked like carrots and the dog food shape) then she vomitted 2 and it was white. She took a nap and within an hr she was back to normal very playful. Then, she had diarrhea it was a brown colour, then about an hour later she pooped out a white liquid. She doesnt seam to be in pain, i touched her belly and such and she still acting normal.

My pitbull puppy who is 3 months old. Had gotten into the dentastix and ate 4 pounds worth. We took him to the vet and they induced vomiting, upon leaving they had put a fluid sac on his back towards his neck. Since then, he's had diarrhea, about 5 minutes ago we took him outside and I noticed a white mucous in place of stool. It was a small amount, but he had another movement moments before that which was diarrhea but nothing alarming like this. He acts and eats fine, no behavorial changes at all. Our female pit puppy was in the same situation, but her stool is normal.

All four of my dogs are on the same diet; Darwin's raw food; organic, free range beef or duck or turkey or bison with some organic veggies in there, not more than 25%. Recently, all four developed mucous in their stools accompanied by loose stools, but not outright diarrhea. No other symptoms presented. They all had appetites, were playful and seemed to act normally. But the mucous is persisting. I've had all four dogs' stools tested for parasites by the vet and all four came back negative. Not sure what to do here, as this is not normal for my dogs. On the Darwin's diet, their stools are usually perfect, in fact a bit hard, if anything.
Please advise.
Thanks much!
Jody

My 11 year old miniature Schnauzer has been having digestive issues including diagerrea/vomiting which has gone away and now he is experiencing greyish stool accompanied with some abdominal pain. I can definitely tell when he is in pain because his whole body stiffens up and his ears and tail which are normally sticking straight up are lowered. About a year ago the Vet recommended wet food because dry food started to irritate his stomach causing him to vomit a lot, so I'm not sure if this could be because of his diet. He acts like his normal self, he just gets sudden abdominal pain and has greyish stool.
Thank you for your help!

Hello my dog has been pooping out mucus sacks filled with poop that is diarrhea. It smells very bad nothing in his diet has changed. It has been doing on for about 3 days now.

Hello my name is Anna and my puppy is pooping mucus and it's green and he's quiet and not hungry. We are trying to see what to do. My parents gave him a different food and we think it could be that but we don't know.
