wish us luck. his lesions on his back i found are healing up quite nicely and almost gone. HOPE HOPE HOPE it's cureable for him.
and about the poop. i've seen lots of very strange poop and urine samples in several strange containers already...weird people out there. a pick up bag is fine, or possibly use the cup we sent home for you to scoop it into...i've had one come in these little white boxes that didn't interlock but rather sat on top of each other and if you set them down the top one would slide right off and there's a pile of poo....oh dear these people. |
ok that makes sense. I hope it clears it up like my friends
yeah i keep sterile urine bottles and sterile syringe to pick up urine and fecal bottles at home as pick up from vet to have just in case anything happens i have them there to take in vet that morning. I like using sterile things from vets office not TUPPERWARE lollll what up with that. You can also get sterile bottles from pharmacy for free as well. Our vet has the bottles up at front desk to take home
