While it is not normal I would not worry about that. It is possibly for eating something he was not supposed to that caused it. Unless there is blood or diarrhea or vomiting then there is nothing to do

    It was likely a little bit of mucus from his colon which could be secondary to being anesthetized. I would not be concerned with this unless he continues to have this or his stool becomes loose. Anesthesia can slow down and change their gut some. I would make sure he is continuing to eat and drink normally. I hope this helps!
