We are back to looking at food as the issue for her loose/mucousy stools.
We had a stool sample done, just to rule that out, that was fine. Also had her on medication for a week, just to calm her system down, and that totally helped-stools were normal.
But as soon as she was off it, back to loose and mucousy, at all hours of the night.

My breeder has recommend food of no more than 23% protein and 16% fat, and also to avoid chicken as it's known to be a problem for yorkies.
If you know of any food that fits those guidelines, please let me know.
I spend more time researching dog food than my own! lol

Thanks for the help!
