fecal test

[popsicletoes]

I sent a fecal sample to a person for testing, the sample and mailing by priority mail was done on 10/19. I never received a response so I emailed on 10/26 because the post office showed delivery on 10/21. The person said they have been having mail trouble and they'd check on it. I emailed again today and they said it was finally received and would run the test this afternoon. I questioned the validity after so many days but she said most testing is for pinworms and coccidia and the test would still be valid.

I'm out of work and I hesitate to spend another $6-$7 dollars to priority ship another sample to her or someone else if it isn't necessary. So many websites stress that it needs to be a "fresh" sample. What do you think?

Too bad they just got back to you about it. Having been sent priority it would have taken only 1-2 days and they should have seen to it right away. For them to tell you they had " mail trouble " when you have proof of delivery is deceptive on their part and you should ask for reimbursement.

Is your dragon acting sick or otherwise in need of a fast fecal test ? If not you might just wait + seek out another vet or lab to do the test.
