Re: Fecal Exams
Normally, if you bring in a fecal to the vet, the vet tech is going to be the one running fecals and putting medications together to treat the animal. If they have questions, they can ask the vet or use a parasitology book(which I find easier because sometimes the vets are twits, LOL).
If it's a tiny clinic, the vet may be the one doing the fecals. There's no need for them to send it off to a lab or what have you, looking at poop is not difficult. Most parasite eggs look the same(some coccidia can be smaller or larger depending on the species it is infecting), regardless of the species(notice I said most), so if they find coccidia, roundworms, tapeworms, etc, then they will know how to treat them accordingly.
Shouldn't cost you more than $15-$25, and they may have to add on an exam fee if that is what they require for them to do a fecal.
