My puppy's poop has a fibrous mass. Is it from chewing or concerning?

This is likely not a big ordeal especially since she is acting Norma and the poop has been normal since but I would contact your vet to see if you could have her fecal checked to ensure she doesn't have any intestinal parasites that could be causing what sounds like mucus in her poop. If this continues then I would urge you to have her examined to find the cause. I hope this helps.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Brooklyn and for providing pictures, they are very helpful! It looks like there is some mucus on her poop, which can be normal. The rest of her poop looks normal, and since everything else with her is as usual, I suspect it's just mucus which is nothing to be worried about. I hope this helps!

Hello. It looks like something or someone vomited up a combination of emesis & something very fibrous. It is probably indigestible , hence the reason it was vomited up in the first place. I would not let your pet near it so dispose of it properly. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I think it is a coincident that a part of her stool looked like a kibble. I cannot imagine that a whole kibble went through her gastrointestinal tract without being digested. Please, keep an eye on her stools and if you see more of potentially undigested food, Chloe may need a blood test to check her pancreas function.

It looks like some sort of linear object possibly a stick or piece of rubber. You would need to wash the faeces off it and describe the texture and weight of the object for me to be more specific. Do you know of anything the puppy may have eaten? If the pup is in good form, eating and drinking normally, I wouldn't panic at the moment. Puppies do eat things they shouldn't and as long as it passes through without doing any harm that's the important thing. Of course there could me more of whatever this is still inside, so be really vigilant the next few days. If you notice Eclipse being dull, going off food, vomiting, passing diarrhoea or not going to the toilet, then head straight to the vet. You may wish to take her in for a check up anyway so the vet can feel her tummy and ensure all is okay.

This could be due to the presence of mucous coming from the last part the intestine. It may be compatible with colitis, which is an inflammation, usually dietary related. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

This is very concerning as it appears to contain blood, mucus and possibly bowel lining. I recommend an oral worm medication, a specialist intestinal or hydrolyzed diet for 6 weeks and a probiotic/fiber supplement such as fortiflora to rebalance the bowel and rule out any parasitic causes. A full health check, blood tests and possibly ultrasound/xray if not responding or any weight loss, vomiting or weakness is noted
