Cat and I both have mucous in stools?!
Question: Cat and I both have mucous in stools!?
My cat and I both have very mucusy stools sometimes they have very small specks of blood in the mucus, I was getting seriously concerned about cancer I still am, but my cat recently had diarreah in my room!.!. and I noticed while cleaning it, her stool was mucousy and pretty much just like mine!.It had a speck of blood in it, mine occasionally do too
Mine has been going on for a couple weeks now and I just had a negative fecal occult blood test!.
Why on earth would we both have this!? Could it be related or just a coincidence
Cheers,
P!.S I am going into doctors and taking her to vets asap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
It could be a few things, maybe your both eating similar foods and your giving the cat your scraps, the food could be contaminated!. It could be something else, such as worms, tape worm or parasites which animals can spread to people if in close contact!. It could be a virus, or you may both happen to have a vitamin deficiency!.
See a doctor, get some tests done, such as blood test, full colonoscopy, X rays!.
The vet will probably have similar tests for the cat!.
You may want to tell both the vet and the doctor that the cat is sharing your symptoms!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Mucous is a clear, white, or yellowish jelly-like substance!. It assists to protect the inner lining of the intestine and helps ease the passage of stool!. It is normal to excrete some mucous for this reason with a movement, but generally it should not be easily visible!.
There are a number of reasons why mucous may appear in stools!. Generally it indicates an inflammation of the intestines!.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
In IBS, an increase in mucous production sometimes occurs and then is passed in bowel movements, especially with diarrhea-predominant IBS!. Often episodes are caused by diet!. Common aggravators include fat, eggs, dairy products, spicy foods and coffee, so elimination of these one at a time can help you identify which are the problem ones!. Avoid a food for 20
