A vet appointment question.

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.

I put Laputa in a small critter keeper for an hour or two with high humidity inside her terrarium until she poo'd. It worked. I just scooped it off the wet paper towel I kept in there for her
