I know it would be concerning if this was a daily thing but its just so infrequent that I don't know if I should be worried or not especially since her level of activeness hasn't changed at all as well as her diet. |
Are you feeding freshpet? It has carrageenan in it & it is known to be an intestinal irritant, linked to cancer & induces joint inflammation.
Mucous in poop means the intestinal lining is being expelled...
