Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In puppies, a common cause of diarrhea is intestinal parasites. They may have diarrhea but continue to eat, drink, and be merry despite an infection. Mucous and blood int he diarrhea happens when the colon and intestinal tract is inflamed. I would have Rocky get a fecal test from his veterinarian to rule out parasites or perhaps a bacterial infection. I hope this helps! Best of of luck to you and Rocky.
