My dog has yellow mucus diarrhea for days and won't eat. What to do?

Question

Diahreea for 4 days, no blood, just yellow mucus substance. He is on heartworm and up to date on all his shots. He has not been to a kennel. I've been giving yogurt and boiled chicken... eats with hesitation and drinks very little water. Is there medication or could this be something else. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 9 months and 5 days old | 15 lbs

Poor guy. 4 days of loose stool despite a bland diet, indicates that there is something else going on underlying than just an upset stomach. Due to his age, I would suspect that either an intestinal parasite or a bacterial infection is causing this. He certainly needs to see a vet at this point to have his stool tested first, then get him treated based on what is found. I would recommend continuing the boiled chicken and rice and add in a probiotic (Culturelle over the counter works well as well as Fortiflora online). I hope that Hank is able to resolve his diarrhea soon! Best of luck and take care.
