Yorkie pooping clear mucus? Just a few minutes ago my 6 month old yorkie squatted down to poop when I took her out, and it was mucusy with a little bit of feces, and then she started dragging her butt along the ground. I couldn't see any worms in it and she occasionally did that when poop would get stuck to the hair in her butt before I trimmed that area short. Then for the next 5 minutes or so she would repeatedly squat down and poop a small amount of clear mucus and then drag her butt on the ground. Has anyone here had this happen? I ask because my vet's office is closed on Thursdays and I don't want to go elsewhere unless it's an emergency. She has since stopped and is active and in good spirits, so doesn't look sick at all. Oh how I wish I would have taken a good look at her poop this morning when I took her out right after she woke up. I normally do, but it was dark outside and I didn't get a good look. |
Poor baby... She could have a parasite.. Was she ever tested? |

LOL.. Bird poop is really really bad for them, please try to stop her from getting it.. I had to take my bird feeder away because I learned how bad bird poo was for Dogs! I would just watch her, if you notice an excessive amount of mucus, or if you see any blood, or even any changes in her health- take her into the Vet. |
Ooops, gotta make a correction: she has been on Heartguard for 2 months. I was thinking three because I gave Cook her third dosage of it yesterday. I thought Heartguard was supposed to protect against worms and parasites? |
Has she had anything different/new to eat? Usu when there's mucus in poop, it means the large intestines or colon is inflamed & the lining being expelled. As long as there's no blood, no diarrhea, no vomiting, she should be ok, just a slight irritation. If accompanied by any of the other symptoms mentioned above, vet visit will be in order. |
Yes, Heartguard is to prevent Heartworms, it will treat and control hookworms and roundworms. |
Do you know what she has eaten, usually if something has irritate the intestines you get the slimey goop. This will happen to my boys if they steal some of the neighbour dogs kibble when they visit. I little probiotic or plain greek yoghurt and perhaps a digestive enzyme for a couple of days and you should see an improvement. Feed her a little cooked chicken or turkey for a couple of days, it's a pure protein and will be gentle on her guts |

keep an eye on her, it could be time to just upgrade to a better quality food |
Crap, I think I may have found the culprit. Coleus | ASPCA She kept going after this one plant in the yard, and sure and enough, I just looked it up and read it causes diarrhea. |
