Re: White Mucus in Poop
It could be caused by stress, dietary Indiscretion, food Intolerance or bacterial infection.
The passing of (large amounts) of white mucous in stool in the absence of diarrhea suggests that it is a form of irritable bowel
which is an irritation and possible inflammation of the colon or large intestine. When irritated, the intestinal tract creates an
extra layer of protective mucous lining. In an otherwise healthy squirrel I would recommend providing an additional probiotic to
help stabilize the gut flora.
