Vet visits?

I have yet to meet a vet who would check a fecal sample without seeing the animal first. If you know of one who will, I'd love to meet them, and I'd love to know where that's allowed. That said, I bring a few of my animals in every year, specifically so I can get a fecal screening on them. I like to pick any animal that hasn't been quite 'right' with its feeding, etc. Once I even found something...so I treated the entire collection along with that one, just in case. (Fortunately, the vet was willing to supply enough panacur for a couple dozen animals, lol).

Parasites can come in, in feeders, so it's a good idea to take a look, once in a while.

My vet has seen some of my animals but has done repeated screening on all of them. She will not provide treatment until she sees the animal. But believes screening is important so will run the test for any persons animals she has records on. It works quite well as the screen alone is not very expensive. I don't need to pay the visit charge for every fecal only if treatment is needed .

I am very fortunate that I have a great vet whom understands the way many reptile keepers have multiple animals.

No, nearly everything reptiles can/will go through can be done from home. I have yet to take any to the vet, nor plan to for anything I can come up with off the top of my head.
