My dog has been acting normal but just had this strange looking poop. Does this warrant a vet visit? If so, how urgently - tonight? Tomorrow?

I wouldn’t worry about this poop - a wide variety of colors are normal and it looks soft but still formed. If there has been blood or mucus, or if Lucky has had other symptoms like a decreased appetite or vomiting you may want to see your vet for an exam.
