slime in urine

[tortoise lover]

Hello everybody,My tortoise has passed urine and i know that they pass white urates but this was like a lump of white slime,not like the normal urates what they pass,she is under the vet and has a feeding tube in so i am feeding her via this with Critical care formula,She is not eating anything so she is only getting this down her,Does anybody know if this is anything to worry about,I did think about worms but she has had numous tests done at the vet but not sure if she had her stools tested or not,but this was quite a large clump of slime not thin and long like i imagine worms to be like.Will check with the vet next week but in the meantime has anybody any ideas please

Sometimes if they have flagellates they will pass "slime." Panacur gets rid of the wormy type parasites, but you need to use Flagyl for the "can't-see-'em" types.
