Sorry, I am waaaay behind on this email account, but thought I would chime in anyway. My pyr, TJ (who wew lost last year), had mucousy, loose stools often. I started adding Mountain High Yogurt (plain) to his food to help stave off ear infections and got the added bonus of formed stools! I think someone else mentioned having "digestive enzymes" to the dog food, which my vet said is basically what is in the yogurt.
Good luck!

My pyr Roland had a sensitive stomach his entire life, and in his last few
months everything he ate gave him diarrhea. My vet advised adding
psyllium husk powder to his food - just one heaping teaspoon mixed with
water to a loose paste, then mixed in with the dry/canned food he normally
ate. This was all he needed to firm up his stools. We bought the
psyllium husk powder in the whole foods store. -- EC
