My iguana had loose stools in August. went to vet and got cleared up with a dose of panacur. After this however I noticed mucus in her feces. It is brownish and she still has the actual feces, urates, and urine. There was almost as much mucus as feces so we went back to the vet who looked at a fecal sample and gave her a dose of panacur and metronidazole. Situation improved alot but not completely. two weeks later got another does of panacur and matronidazole. The vet said it was most likely an imbalance of bacterica etc. in her gut.

She has been doing very well. She is alert and active as usual. She seemed to be unaffected except by her feces. I noticed yesterday a very small amount of mucus i think. I'm keeping an eye on this but am wondering what can cause this mucus?

ps She is a little over a year old with no other health issues in the past. she eats collards, mustard greens, green beans, squash. etc
