Hello! Quilliam could have any number of problems. His feces could be green and mucousy from parasites, a bacterial infection, a liver problem, or from eating something he shouldn’t have. In order to get a better idea what is going on, the feces should be examined for parasites, fungus, and bacteria. A full physical exam and perhaps X-rays or blood work would also be helpful and your veterinarian would be able to do this. There isn’t really anything you can do at home aside from evaluate his diet and make sure he isn’t eating inappropriate food or items. Good luck.
