I have a vet appt. Thursday for Samson

Im going to get him checked for paracites and worms and stuff. Does it take long? I think ill take him in a small cloth bag (crown royal) and put that in a hard plastic container. I dont have a heat pad but the vet is only about 10 mins. away. Does this sound good???

Bring a poop sample, doesn't take long.

Yea, i dont want to forget the poo!! LOL I just fed him sunday so he should be ready to poo tonight. Hopefuly

That's funny, cuz mine usually only poop at shed time.

he useually poops 2 to 3 days after eating... When he shed last time he did not poo until i fed him again (5 days). But he has always pooped about 2 to 3 days after eating and i think i have fed him 6 or 7 times since i've had him.

Are you sure you're not thinking of urates, which is typically mostly white, versus poop, which is solid dark brown? Generally they produce urates every week or two if they're eating weekly but only poop every 4 to 8 weeks on the same feeding schedule.

No, it is big brown tirds, and urates, the hard white and yellow ball things.

Interesting. It sounds like your guy has an unusually fast metabolism. That might be useful.

I dont know what the deal is... he seams healthy and happy.

Well, good deal. I hope the vet seconds that for you. :)

Definatly bring in a fecal (hopefully not one more then 24 hours old, not the easiest feat) (keep the fecal sample refrigerated, not frozen, untill you can bring it in) I am sure you can always bring in a fresh sample to drop off if he doesn't go in time for the appt. Bagging him should be fine, I find that the best way to transport. As for heat pads etc, just make sure it is warm enough, I don't know what your weather is like etc.
But good for you for bringing him to a vetrinarian.
Thanks
Rusty
