My dog has yellow mucus diarrhea and a rumbling stomach. What to do?

Question

My 2 year old Siberian Husky went to the bathroom a few times this morning. The first stool was normal, the second was looser, and the last few were a yellow mucus. She seems to be OK other than that, but I can hear her stomach rumbling. Any advice? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 45 lbs

The diarrhea could be caused by any number of things; intestinal parasites, a bacterial infection, even being constipated will sometimes manifest as diarrhea because liquid feces is all that will get by the impacted fecal material. It could be as simple as a dietary indiscretion, meaning she might have gotten into the trash and eaten something that didn't agree with her. If your pet is otherwise feeling fine, eating, drinking and urinating, try taking away all food, treats included, for 24 hours. She can still have water. This will give the gut a chance to rest. After the 24 hours are up, introduce just a tiny amount of normal food. Wait an hour and give a little more. Keep doing this until she has had her normal amount for the morning. However, if she continues to have loose stool, or starts vomiting, loses her appetite, acts lethargic, and/or develops a fever, get her in to be seen by your vet right away as this could indicate a more serious problem.
