Recent changes:
- last parvo and rabies shot 5 days ago (tested negative for worms/parasites/giardia)
- puppy class yesterday
- feeding from 3 times a day to twice a day just started yesterday
- went to park with grass, ate 1 zuke hip formula

This morning she had her regular meal and poop (7:30AM). but before we took her out, she had an unexpected poop (10:30AM) - decent size, and the end of it was slimy. A section of it looked like a layer of mucus on it.

Any ideas what this could be? We are going to keep an eye out for the next poop after dinner...

The word"slimy" makes me think of Giardia. Did she drink from any blechy puddles, streams or ponds?

Beamer had a some mucus in his stool twice (once in the morning, and the next one after lunch). After that, nothing. I checked the stool sample to be sure, and nothing was seen. I assume it was that he just ate something.

Maybe a bowl of water from the puppy school, but that was yeterday. She's also eaten some grass before but no issues. She was tested negative for parsites and giardia 5 days ago. Thanks for your help.

Maddie had poop with mucus on it when she was 10-12 weeks old. Vet said it was Pin Worms. We dewormed her again - and it went away.

How old is your pup? I remember Maggie's poops were a bit softer and less formed when she was teething. Just an idea?

I have this happen with my boy sometimes - he likes to chew sticks and sometime will get some kind of yucky bacteria in his system - I give both of my dogs vanilla or plain yogurt in their food to let the good bacteria kill the yucky bacteria....

I would keep asking around here - there are A LOT of helpful advice around here!

Update on 2nd bm. Not slimy but a section of it was sort of a weird faded brown/gray color. And I did find a piece of grass in there!

I would ask the vets office tomorrow if you could drop a stool sample off just in case.
