Dog has upset stomach, mucus in poop, but acting normal. What to do?

Question

My dachshund has an upset tummy (I can hear/feel it) and just pooped some mucus... she didn't eat this morning which is rare, but she is acting normal otherwise. What can I do, should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | spayed | 2 years and 6 months old | 19 lbs

Poor Calli! Since she is feeling pretty well overall I would pull up her regular food and feed her only a very bland diet of boiled skinless chicken and white rice. If the mucus in the stool is continuing despite this after 24 hours then you can make an appointment with your vet and bring in a sample of the stool for parasite testing. They can prescribe medication if necessary.
