If there is a possibility that your pup could have gotten into rat poison, then it is best to get him to the vet, most rat poisons work by preventing the blood to clot, in effect the mouse or rat bleeds internally until dead.
Of course there are other things to consider also, appetite, activity, gum color.
Whether he has been dewormed or vaccinated and when.
Have you changed his diet?
Gelatinous, slimy poop may be an indicator of a stomach upset that he may need medication for.
Could be something else entirely.
I think the vet is your best option here.
