My dog has constant upset stomach, smelly gas, and mucusy poop. Is this normal?

Question

My dog has symptoms of an upset stomach almost all the time. He has very smelly gas, and a lot of times mucusy poo. Is that normal? He is a mini poodle. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 10 lbs

This is not normal and could indicate a food intolerance, or infection. You can try to see if a bland diet and probiotics help to reduce the gas and mucousy poo. You can buy bland diets at the pet store (best option), or make a bland diet for him at home (boiled chicken, duck, or turkey plus potato, rice, pumpkin, etc.). If the his stools and gas improve with this diet, then it would be best to switch him to another food with different ingredients. If this doesn't help after 1-2 weeks of starting the diet, then I would be more suspicious of an infection and recommend he goes to a vet for an evaluation. I hope that helps and Pheonix gets better soon.
