It could be anything from too many fats in the dog's diet, to have a bit of an intestinal problem (we all get them). Even humans can have a certain amount of mucus in their stools. If your dog's stools are quite white with mucus then it's advisable to take a stool sample to your vets for analysis to be sure there is no infection.

Why would there be mucus in a child?

If you are worried take the child to a doctor with a sample of the stool. Everyone has mucus in their stool to some extent. The bowel is lined with mucous membrane which helps the passage of the stool. Sometimes it becomes excessive if there is an inflammation, or the bowel is irritated (for example by spicy food). If the child is healthy and apart from this the stools are normal and the mucus is not bloodstained, forget about it.

How do you reduce bile in cat stools?

If your cat has mucus (not bile; bile is stomach juices) in its stool, take it to the vet as soon as possible. Mucus in stools can be caused by a number of things, ranging from eating food that does not agree with the cat, overeating, food allergies or sudden changes in diet. It may also be due to parasites such as worms. Only a vet will be able to determine the cause and prescribe any medication if needed.
