Warning gross poop pics! My dogs poop was very goopy/slimy tonight and I'm wondering if this is any indication of intestinal parasites?

Yes this can be from intestinal parasites, but also from bowel irritation from eating things, or stress causing gastrointestinal inflammation. I recommend a fecal exam to rule out parasites and then they can give the appropriate treatment to take care of this.
