Do you know why dogs have mucus?

What is the reason why dogs have mucus? Dogs usually have some mucus in their poop, which is a normal phenomenon, which may be caused by drinking too much water or eating some fatty food.

1. Enteritis

If dogs suffer from enteritis, they will experience diarrhea and mucus. They will also be accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, increased body temperature, and palpation of the abdomen. Since these symptoms are very similar to canine distemper and may not be easy to distinguish, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and confirmation, and then give anti-inflammatory drugs and drugs to repair the intestinal mucosa after the intestinal inflammation is diagnosed.

2. Parasite infection

If a dog is infected with parasites in the body, frequent diarrhea may cause damage to the intestinal mucosa, and the excreted feces will contain mucus or blood. Sometimes obvious insects can be seen in the dog's vomit and feces. At the same time, the dog will also experience symptoms such as decreased appetite and weight loss. Therefore, the owner can pay attention to observation. If the dog finds the above symptoms, it is necessary to deworm the dog in time.

3. Viral infection

If the dog has not been vaccinated, being infected with infectious diseases such as canine distemper, tiny, and coronary form will also cause diarrhea, causing damage and fall of the intestinal mucosa, causing mucus to be contained in the stool. It will also be accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, vomiting, bloody stool, and rising body temperature. At this time, you need to take your dog to the pet hospital for further examination in time, determine the specific cause before symptomatic treatment.
