Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Drake and Pierce! The slimy poop can indicate diarrhea and mucous can make it look slimy. Mucous can indicate inflammation in the colon. Causes of diarrhea in both dogs likely indicated a viral or bacterial infection or they both ate something that is disagreeing with them like a new food, treat or table food or they got in to something. Diarrhea can cause a poor appetite if they don't feel well. If they are having a lot of bowel movements you can consider fasting them for 12-24 hours to rest the GI tract. Then restart feeding as a bland diet of boiled chicken or beef with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day until 2 normal stools. If Drake continues to not eat well, or stops eating he should be seen by your Vet. As for Drakes' urine smell-It could smell stronger because it is more concentrated due to dehydration or he could have an infection. I feel sometimes intact male dog urine smells stronger. You can try to collect a urine sample and see if your Vet will check it for infection. I hope this helps and I wish both Drake and Pierce a speedy recovery!
