Weird mucus colour in dog poop

Hello there!



I understand how concerning it can be to notice something unusual in your dog's stool. Changes in the mucus color can mean several things, and I'm here to help you figure it out.



Mucus in dog poop often indicates that the intestines are irritated. This can be due to minor issues like dietary changes, a mild stomach upset, or stress. If the mucus is yellow or greenish, it might suggest a mild infection or issues with the liver or bile ducts. Clear or white mucus is often less concerning if your dog is otherwise acting normal.



For at-home care, you can ensure your furry friend stays hydrated and consider switching to a bland diet temporarily, such as boiled chicken and rice, to help soothe the tummy. Make sure not to add any seasoning or oil.



Keep an eye out for alarming signs like continuous diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, blood in the stool, or a lack of appetite. These could indicate a more serious condition that requires prompt veterinary attention.



I'd recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet if you notice these symptoms or if your dog's condition doesn't improve in a day or two. We’re here to help and offer the best care for your pet!
