My dog vomited and now has jelly-like sticky stool; what should I do?
Jelly-like mucus in the stool often indicates gastrointestinal mucosal ulcers, possibly from bacterial or viral enteritis or parasites. See a vet for targeted treatment; if mild, withhold food and water and use medication.
These two days the stool is a bit soft with watery stool and a bit of blood, but spirit and eating are normal. Yesterday after defecation there was watery stool like the picture, this morning I did not feed kibble. What is the problem, a bit worried.

Let the dog out to play alone; it squeezed through a small backyard gap. It’s fat and struggled. When found it stopped barking; normally very vocal.

My Samoyed may have swallowed a nail at 5pm; acting normal, didn’t vomit after induction – will it be ok
Since you only suspect and induction didn't work, stop inducing (it irritates esophagus/stomach). Watch whether it passes the nail in stool; a thin nail may pass on its own. Give probiotics for motility, check stool daily; if not passed in 2 days or vomiting/blood/diarrhea appear, get X-rays - surgery may be needed.
