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?
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!
