Moose was recently treated for pinworms, vet said his fecal came out clear of everything a week or two ago. I noticed his poo lost its nasty funk, but it came back... went away again (weird right?) and now it's been real bad these last two days. I bought one of those cheap microscopes from cheryl's website and gave it a look. I didn't see pinworms, but I see clumps of what appear to be extremely tiny dots... Now this thing doesn't focus too well, so I can't be positive, but I think it's coccidia. I'm sure some of you have experience with this microscope so maybe you can help. Is this how coccidia would appear to look on this microscope? All I can see are big clumps of super tiny dots which I can hardly make out... Thanks in advance,
Thanks David, that does help a lot (I'm saving that image for future reference). My microscope was set to 100x so I think it's safe to say he's clean. I ended up sending these pictures to Cheryl and she also said it didn't look like coccidia... I really had no idea what it would look like. I was going off the diagnosis pictures from her website with a clue that read, "on your microscope, coccidia will appear half this size".
I guess I just wasn't ready to trust that vet :lol: Thanks again!
