In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the appearance, consistency, and odor of a furry friend's stool can provide insights into their overall health and balance of Qi (vital energy), as well as the state of their internal organs. Here's how TCM interpret certain characteristics of furry friend's poop:

Characteristics: Oily, shiny appearance with a slick texture. May contain visible mucus.

Potential Causes: Damp-Heat in the digestive system, pancreatic insufficiency, or food intolerance.
