My dog has brown liquid poop, shivering, and lethargy. What's wrong?

Question

Max just went "poop" again but the only thing that came out was a gooey liquid substance with a tint of brown. He went to his bed and lasted down after that. He has been shivering and shaking also.

By your description, it was likely mucus. This happens during times of GI stress or inflammation. Try withholding food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with one tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount as long as your dog not vomiting. Feed until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. See your veterinarian if symptoms persist, worsen or if your dog begins vomiting or has diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.
