   What are you feeding your dog?  If she is sick and has a slimy poo I would suggest  a possible bacterial infection (tummy upset)  If she doesnt improve over the next 24 hours I would seek the advise of a vet.  I also would be looking at what kind of diet she is on and also if she has maybe eaten something she shouldnt.  Be very careful pulling anything out of your dog as this can cause a damage ...hope this helps

   I have two solutions for you.
   
   1. Take your dog for a run.
   
   2. Feed your dog canned pumpkin. Yes, this works.
   
   Remembe excercise is key.
