There are many: causes for loose, mucousy, smelly stools in a 3 year old.It could be from a cold,although you mentioned she doesn't have symptoms of a cold.It also could be from an infection,food intolerance or absorption issue.I would discuss this with her doctor; they may want to collect some stool samples to test,if it is continuing. Meanwhile, try to have her eat more binding foods, such as bananas and rice.
