You don't mention whether or not she is otherwise well. If she is appearing well without other signs, she may have a bit more mucus from the upper airway passing through the digestive tract. Stool mucus can be associated with bacterial infections in the digestive tract as well - often with accompanying complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, fever, or vomiting.
