A bit of mucus is normal to see as long as there are no other symptoms (lethargy, decreased appetite, difficulty defecating, etc). One episode is no cause for concern. If it persists or if Lizzie develops any other symptoms, then have her examined by your veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites.
