Why does my puppy have soft poop with blood and mucus streaks?

Question

Hello my 5 month old Hungarian vizsla puppy seems very well in herself, lively, energetic, good appetite but has streaks of mucus/blood in her poo. She has had this for about a week so we have put her on a bland chicken and rice diet since Saturday and the picture attached is this mornings poo. Since seeing the blood I have given her 3 days of panacur to make sure it’s not parasite related. She has always had soft yellowish poos never very firm. What could this be please? Pet's info: Dog | Vizsla | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 25 days old | 35 lbs

These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine, the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, as you are already doing, I would suggest to continue feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48 hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. A probiotic can be added to the diet as well like pro-kolin for example. I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist in the next 48 hours or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
