What the Hell Is This? Gp Never Saw It! Posted: 10-07-04 04:46am
Started having bowel troubles some 7 weeks
ago and I am up for scopy next week.
This morning I had a spell of loose stools
with a strange looking string in it. Got
it out with tweezers, cleaned it and
rushed it to the gp. He says is is a
piece of mucous membrane of the colon and
it looks normal, not like a piece of a
polyp or a damaged tumor. However, he
never saw it before and it is taken out
for research. My best friend is a vet and
he says it is very common in dogs; mostly
means a parasite or a viral infection.
Well, of course it scares the beejees out
of me and I was wondering whether anybody
has had this same thing. Thanks!
Blessya.

Hi
mucus can be present with dysentheria,
which is a problem of the mucosa of the
colon: inflammation, infection. It can
also be fat, due to malabsorption. There
are so many things that it may be, but do
not be excessively concerned. It seems
that you are being evaluated.
