I just thought about something. Late last fall I dispatched of my laying chickens, seems I spoiled them and they wouldn't eat scraps or any grains. Anyhow I fed them to the dogs, they weren't completely healthy because of their finicky eating habits and all of my yard eventually got loose mucus filled stools. I treated with Sulfa-Trim for the first round then Sulmet when dogs became reinfected.
Despite being super diligent cleaning stools daily and cleaning all of the poop scooping equipment I had some dogs get a 3rd round of the loose stools. So off to the vet I went with some samples. He did not find Coccidia or Giardia no worms nothing. He said he thought it was just a bacterial infection passing around because of the moist environment (rain and snow) that was caused by the chickens initially.
He sent me home with Spectra Guard Scour Check a red liquid dosed @ 1ml per 5lbs BID (2x daily) it knocked it out by the 2nd dose and it's pretty inexpensive. You can order it online without a prescription some feed stores carry it as well. Maybe you'll find this info helpful.
