For the faecal screen see one of my previous posts, there is a section at the bottom for 'other tests not listed'. I just wrote it in there

Ok guys, just a bit more info for you - the faecal screen doesnt just cover worms, they also look for protozoan, flagellates, coccidia etc, basically everything except crypto, and there is a separate test for that, although they have told me it is better to do a full parasitology if you suspect a problem.

All results are sent by email, but if you wish to provide test results with the sale of an animal (as we intend to do) they will send out hard copies on request. (you just need to write on the submission form - hard copy required)

hope this helps!

I cant believe this isnt a sticky yet. It needs bumping to keep it on the first page, hopefully it will be stuck soon

Excellent find . My rep vet is trying to charge £57 for a fecal!!!!!!! Worst thing is that they are probably sending it to this lab anyway and pocketing the difference. Do they supply buckets for a Royal turd?

Shame I didn't think of this 3 years ago. Got all the kit at uni. Could have made a fortune .

Yes. Most definately if it meant that my pet was going to live a full and happy life.
