i've had urine and stool brought in in every container possible. quite gross sometimes. i was once handed a flat folded up piece of tin foil. i thought it was poop....it was not. i opened it and pee spilled all over the counter.  i've also been given wet paper towels in a sandwich bag too. seriously, what am i suppose to do, wring it out into a test tube? |
Oh gosh...you just made me laugh. I always tease the people at my vet...I have seen people come in with the craziest containers with specimens.
I always love the big trash bags.
I swear I could not do that.
They would have to open it and give me a normal sized specimen in the right container.
