How costly is a poop test at the vet?

[BritishPingu]

Just wondering because I would like to get it checked out to be safe

Hello,

Most of the time, fecals don't cost more than $20 on average. Are you taking him in for a fecal test or taking the sample by the vet without taking your dragon in?
You will pay an office visit also plus the fecal exam that they run.

Where are you located?

the closest reptile vet to me, about 5 miles away, charges 22 for a fecal test

the next closest, about 40 miles away, charges 15.

unfortunately, I cant get to the cheaper clinic

Ok that helps a lot, so can beardys be taken so they can poop there or take in a sample? Im hoping for it to get tested for parasites if I do go.

I think the best option would be to take your beardie to the vet and have him poo there so its as fresh as possible

next best option would be to put the poo in a clean, sealable container, like a Ziploc bag or a urine sample cup if you have access to one
