Huey sometimes has some of those slime/mucous covered stools, sometimes followed by one really soft, messy, nasty stool (he usually has"tootsie rolls"). I have discovered when he does this, he has eaten something he shouldn't have, like a wicker chair or a piece of bark or part of a houseplant. It always resolves quickly, though, and I can usually see evidence of the offending meal in the slime covered stool, so I just havent worried about it. I think the slime is a way of protecting the bowel from sharp pieces of wicker or sticks or whatever he shouldn't have eaten. |
