Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 15 lbs
Hi I have two shin tzu they are both 2 years old and this morning I woke up too bloody wet mucus poop. attached are the pictures of the poop. I did not find any eggs or worms. So my question is, is this something I should worry about? My dogs aren't acting weird at all they are acting normal. So this is very odd because they are playing around and eating and they are fine.

Not the best way to wake up in the morning is it? I think that if they are acting normally, you don't have to rush out to the vet at this time. They might have just gotten into some food either inside or outside the house that they normally don't eat. I would go ahead and fast them for the next 12 - 18 hours, then feed some boiled chicken and rice for the following 2-3 days before resuming their normal diet. If matters begin to get worse or other clinical signs develop, considering making a veterinary appointment. You may also want to take the fecal sample into the veterinarian for a fecal analysis, just to make sure there isn't anything funny going on like a parasite. Anyway, hope all gets better soon. Hope this helps!
