    exactly! just like people vets, they all have their preferences. some people vets will call in a prescription, others want to see you first. animal vets are no different

    my exotic vet does fecals for me without seeing the animals, but i think she just digs me lol

    It simple. When you do fecal you charge only for fecal, but it's always a good idea to do check up to cover everything up even if not needed. And charge for check up and fecal it's called business. Most vets won't do just fecal just for that reason.... Ups.... Shhhhhhh. I didn't say that lol nope, wasn't me!
    its actually the same when you go to the dentist knowing you have a cavity, so the guy will charge you for checking if you have it and for fixing it
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Lol true, I'll ask when I call if they do fecals without the frog(s) present. For now I'm still waiting for a sample from the other frog. This is the first time I've done this and while it seems relatively simple it still makes me a little nervous.

    Go through it enough and it'll have you chomping at the bit to get your own microscope and learn how to do your own fecal tests... *coff*.

    my advice is to call the vet and get the samples there as soon as you can whether you have to bring the frogs or not. No mater what it is the poor frogs need a Vet to figure it out and prescribe treatment. Hope it turns out to be something that is easy to get rid of.

    you can get false negative doing the way I know you are doing, you need floatation method to get more accurate results and for that you need equipment.
