NEED HELP!!

[PintoBeanDragon1000]

I need to find a low cost reptile vet near federal way Washington. I need a fecal but no one will do them without an exam.

Hello,

You can try here to find a vet:

You should be able to find one fairly close.

I was told by a vet that many common parasites will become "inactive" after a stool is older than 15 mins so using a brought in stool can miss many common parasites and if it got/gets heated it can cause a false negative. He told me it's most accurate if the stool sample is "coaxed" and collected directly from the lizard.

thanks for explaining it.

Hello,

Were you able to find a vet?
How is your dragon doing today, any improvements?

Neither were sick.
I just got one beardie on Saturday off craigslist and I wanted to make sure he was healthy. Thats all. I am still looking for a low cost vet but I have gotten input on mail in fecal tests.

Hello,

That is great to hear your dragon is doing well!
I hope you are able to find somewhere to get a fecal done.
