1. Cold exposure

If the weather is cold, when the body is stimulated by cool winds, it can cause a large amount of mucous-like substance in the feces, which resembles snot. It is necessary to take good care of the body's warmth and generally no medication is required.

Dog's gastrointestinal tract is fragile and lacks digestive enzymes. Sudden changes in dog food can affect digestion and cause diarrhea. Moreover, it is accompanied by mucous-like substance resembling snot. It is necessary to choose suitable dog food and replace it in a gradual manner.

1. Functional indigestion

Usually caused by overeating and abnormal immune mechanism, it can lead to slow intestinal peristalsis and affect normal digestion. Undigested food is then excreted through the stool, causing a large amount of mucous-like substance. Medical consultation is needed to take digestive enzymes to improve the condition.

1. Parasite infection

When the gastrointestinal tract is infected with parasites, it can damage the dog's intestinal mucosa, cause decreased appetite, bloating, and other symptoms. It can also change the shape of the stool and contain mucous-like substance resembling snot. Medical consultation is needed to take internal deworming drugs.

1. Gastroenteritis

If a dog already has gastroenteritis, eating will stimulate the intestinal mucosa, causing damaged intestinal mucosa to shed and be excreted through the stool. The shape of the mucous-like substance resembles snot. Medical consultation is needed to take medications to protect the gastric mucosa.

1. Distemper

Mainly caused by viral infection, it destroys the dog's digestive system, causing ulceration and shedding of the intestinal mucosa, thus forming mucous-like substance resembling snot. Medical consultation is needed to take antiviral drugs.

During treatment, monitor the dog's physical condition at any time. If the above treatment has no significant effect, it is recommended to take the dog to a regular veterinary hospital for related checks and choose appropriate treatment according to the severity of the condition.
