A vet appointment question.

I filled out the "trouble in the enclosure" survey and brought that with me. And a poo sample. They weighed her but handled her as little as possible and when the doc did he was pretty gentle with her, despite her continuous trying to run movement.

Okay thanks guys. he pooped today so I took in and put it in a container to take with me. The only problem he seems to have is the lump. he was being lazy more than usual yesterday but now he is hopping around a little bit. he still baths himself every night but he doesn't whip his face since he got it and doesn't chirp since he got it.

i dont think you need a fecal sample for the BUMP.

[Tubby0512]

What if its some sort of worm under the skin? Or some sort of infection? Well i'm bringing a poo sample just in case. Does it have to be fresh poo?

[CJ PELCHER]

its better yes.. The day before is mandatory for some places ive read

The fresher the fecal sample, the better. Don't worry about under skin worms or infections; that's the reason you are paying the vet your hard earned $$ !

i have a suspicion that the frog is WC, am i right? fecal test won't hurt even if that is CB frog.
it is always better to check mark this one when you have a chance then to possibly have a sick frog later, you're going to the vet anyway, i would advise as you were planning to take poop sample with you the fresher the better as Carlos said.

[Tubby0512]

well i'll keep the poop sample I have. better than nothing. Unless he does him business again than i'll use that one instead.
