My 5-month-old puppy has diarrhea with white jelly. Should I see a vet?

Question

My 5 month old pup has had diarrhoea and then passed what I can describe as white ish jelly. This has happened once before so I'm wondering if it's something I should be getting checked by my local vet?? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 13 days old

The white jelly, or mucus, can be indicative of inflammation in the colon. If Last is behaving normally otherwise, you can try withholding food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or an unflavored electrolyte replacement beverage. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until the stool is normal. Afterwards, transition slowly to the regular diet. If the diarrhea doesn't resolve or if she develops other symptoms (lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite) then she should be examined by your veterinarian.
