Mucus in dog poop - Answered by Dr. Lee

[Cairn Mommy]

Hi there, i'm new to this site, i have just joined today.


I have a Cairn Terrier who is 11 months, just today she has has mucus on her stool - i coooked up some ground beef yesterday and mixed some with her kibble............. , but nothing else..... no blood, no diareha (yet - hopefully not at all)

Could it be the new meat? She doesn't usually get much people food. I have given her gastro food this morning after that bowel movement and it seems to be sitting well for now, she hasn't gone to the bathroom since this morning.

What does this mucus usually mean?
Any ideas would be great
