Question: Why do a fecal exam


Answer: Did you know that your pet can contract certain parasites that are potentially transmittable to you and your family There is no better reason, along with protecting your pet, to protect yourself and your family from infestation with parasites. In children, some of these parasites have been known to cause diarrhea, skin rash, blindness, and even death in some cases. In your pet they can cause diarrhea, failure to thrive, vomiting, weight loss, rough hair coat, bloody stools, and even death, in some cases. By bringing us just ¼ inch piece of your pet’s stool, we can check for the most common parasites and treat them with the appropriate medications if they are positive for any parasites.
