Question
My dogs expected due date is on the 12th of this month and for the past couple of days her boul movements are like a yellowish mucous is this normal or is it a sign that she is getting ready to go into labor your quick response is appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
Hi. Dogs will sometimes get diarrhea before whelping, natures way of cleaning things out. However, you said it had mucus in it. I would take her in for a stool check just to be on the safe said. she's really close to having her puppies, and you want to clear anything up before they come. Good luck.
