White membranous substance in cat stool

If there is a white worm-like object in your cat's stool, it is very likely a tapeworm. It is recommended that the owner immediately deworm their cat. Otherwise, cats with severe parasite infections may show symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, soft stools with worm eggs, and vomit with worm bodies. At the same time, the cat's resistance decreases, making it susceptible to other diseases, endangering its health and even threatening its life. Therefore, it is recommended that owners refuse to feed their cats raw food and regularly deworm them.

Do cats have parasites?

If cats do not undergo regular deworming or are infected by external parasites on other animals, they will have external parasites. If a parasite is found on the cat, it usually means that there are ninety-five percent of adult parasites or eggs on the cat's body or in its living environment. Therefore, regular external deworming of cats is necessary, as well as disinfecting their living environment.

Cat Parasite Symptoms

The symptoms vary depending on the type of parasite. Firstly, infections of roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, weight loss, anemia, etc. In severe cases, worm bodies may be passed in stool, causing intestinal obstruction, neuritis, etc. Secondly, infections of coccidia, trichomonads, and giardia can cause bloody, mucoid, malodorous pasty or semi-solid stools.

White sticky substance in cat stool

The white sticky substance in cat stool is likely caused by detached intestinal mucosa. If this phenomenon is occasionally found and the stool shape is normal, the owner does not need to worry too much. They should just pay attention to their diet and feed their cat with pet-specific probiotics. If the stool is found to be loose, it is necessary to visit the hospital in time to find out the cause and see if there are parasites or intestinal problems, etc., thereby conducting treatment.
