Have just looked this up in Wikipedia.  Seems like it's pretty common in pups, even in litters that are well bred.
It's an intestinal complain that produces looseness with some mucus.  Treatment is relatively inexpensive and a complete recovery is usual.
It looks to me as if your vet is using posh words for a tummy bug.

Hope this is of some help.

Take care
