My puppy has diarrhea with mucus and yellow stool. Should I see a vet?

Question

My 11 week old American staffordshire terrier has had diarrhea for 5 days now and it came out of nowhere. He was on high protein kibble. For the last 2 days I've been feeding him a Bland chicken and rice diet. I have not seen an improvement and now there is tons of mucus in his stool and now I'm really concerned because this morning he pooped out just a small amount of mucus and very little bit of yellow stool. He's acting very normal, energy levels are high and he sleeps his normal schedule. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 21 days old | 17 lbs

I would recommend a vet check up for Duke. He could have intestinal parasites such as hookworms, coccidia or giardia. None of these can be seen in the stool. The vet will likely get a stool sample to check for parasites or eggs under the microscope. Good luck and hope he's better soon.
