The vet can also do a direct scan of the poop by placing a minute dot of poop on a slide and directly looks at it under the microscope without floating it first. this is the way to find giarddia and possible some of the same eggs in a direct. |
Thanks for the explanation. I've never talked about poo so much in my life before! haha
Well, Angel's poo looked better when she went this evening. I haven't seen any mucous in it since this morning. I hope it will continue to improve and not cycle b/w looking better and getting watery again. BTW, what does normal dog poo look like? haha
