My puppy pooped slimy mucus but seems fine. Should I be worried?

Hi, last night about 10 hours ago my 9 month old pooped out what looked like a slimy sack of mucus. It didn’t look like poop at all, just a glob of mucus. She isn’t lethargic at all and she is still eating/has an appetite and is still drinking water. Should I be worried?

I'd just keep an eye on Bella for now since she is otherwise acting normally. Should this happen again, or she develops other signs such as lethargy, anorexia, or vomiting, I would have her seen by a vet. Best of luck.
