Why does my dog's poop have shiny flecks and snot-like mucus?

Question

My Mia girl had a stool with shiny flecks that looked like glitter, and snot like substance on her stool. She hasn't gotten in to anything, and her diet is Ultamino dry food. I'm going to take in a sample, but what could it be? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 7 months and 5 days old | 6.8 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While this could be parasites, this is likely some degree of colitis. You can add a probiotic to her diet such as Fortiflora. You can use it for 1-2 weeks to see if it makes a difference. If it does not, you can consider switching to a sensitive stomach type diet. If no improvement, have her evaluated by your veterinarian so that the stools can be assessed. If she develops diarrhea at any point before then at that point she should definitely be evaluated by her veterinarian. Good luck!
