My 12 week old puppy has been having off and on mucus in the poop. Is at the very end of the poo and it is like coated in it. She has no diarrhea and is her normal self running around playing. She eats cooked chicken mince with rice and then her royal canin dry food. Just want to know if this is normal?

This can be normal, and it can be common to see a bit of mucous at the end of the poop. I'd only be concerned if there is blood as well in Luna's poop, she's having diarrhea, and/or vomiting. I hope this helps!
