My pet's stool sometimes has a jelly-looking membrane covering it. It's only once in a while so I've just been seeing how things go. Do you think something might be wrong with her? Should I take her to the vet?

Hello Pereira, Thankyou for give an attention to your pet. Do you do dewormer on time? That condition might be refer to parasitic problem. It's better to bring your pet to veterinarian near you. Regards, Dr. Nisrina

Hey Periera, When you find mucus in your Pet's poop,there might not be any problem at times actually.Glands in the intestinal tract naturally produce mucus to help keep the colon lubricated and moist to help the stools pass along easily. But maybe when the mucus now gets too much or perhaps the poop has stains of blood in it,it might call for a bit of concern.The dog at this point may start to loose appetite and vomit frequently. That could be because of Diet changes, stress, intoxication,diseases like inflammatory Bowel Disease, Parvovirus etc. So you might just need to see your vet. Thank you!

The nature of stool is determined by the kind of food you give your pet. From experience,the consistency of the stool shows that your dog has a healthy GIT. However,make sure you visit your vet regularly for routine check-up and tests Kind Regards

The presence of mucus is actually very normal. It's common to see a little bit of a slimy, jelly-like substance in your dog's stool. Glands in the intestinal tract naturally produce mucus to help keep the colon lubricated and moist to help the stools pass along. However, excessive mucus accompanied by blood in the stool, diarrhea, vomiting and/or other symptoms is a cause for concern. When Does Mucus Become a Concern? When there is an excessive amount. When blood is present. When there is vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and/or loss of appetite. Causes of Mucus in Dog Poop Stress Dietary Indiscretion Food Intolerances Intoxication Diet Changes Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Crohn's Disease Colitis Presence of Intestinal Parasites/Protozoans Fungal Infection Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Clostridial Enterotoxicosis Parvovirus Ingesting Foreign Objects Polyps and Tumors of the Intestinal Lining

If you're pet feels fine (no vomiting, is active, no blood in stools), then it should be fine. This is mucus and in small amounts is normal. You can give a course of pre- and probiotics and check when was the last time you gave deworming medication.
