Jackson gets his first Fecal tomorrow. Should I be concerned? And how necessary is this? I wouldn't want a fecla myself, LOL, I don't even like how they take their temps. Cant they come up with something they lick that tells them? I don't like him out of my sight when and I really don't like anyone holding him over a hard floor either.

They don't need to take it if you bring in a sample...

Tessa Arnold · 03-18-2010, 11:32 AM

Awe, thanks. Hope he gives me one in the morning, LOL

Ellie May · 03-18-2010, 11:35 AM

Just explain to him what will happen if he doesn't. lol

Tessa Arnold · 03-18-2010, 11:39 AM

LOL, I don't know if I could put it into words for him. LOL...

My vet will let me get one the nite before. I usually get one the nite before just in case I can't get one in the morn. I put it in a ziploc and then it has to go in the refridgertor. (yuck I know but I have it wraped up really good) If I am able to get a fresh one in the morn I will bring that. Good luck at the vet.

Eww... The things we do for our pups, right? At least now I know what would be a good way of collecting a sample in case I ever need it.

We sure do some strange things for the love of our pets

That must be why they love us so much.

Have to admit, I have stored poo in my refrigerator too!

I put it in my garage fringe though!

All went well at the vet. The Dr. is almost ready to set up castration. And yes, she repeatedly used the word Castration, which made me think maybe my dog is being confused with a cow or something. Anywho, they excepted the baggie of poo, LOL! He is almost 5 months old and wieghs 4.7 pounds. They said he is almost at his full grown weight. She said they usually hit their peak at 5 or 6 months and then begin to full out. We'll see. Thanks for all the responces and ideas..

REALLY??? I was told they hit their full adult weight at 18 months. Kaji has LP's (grade 3/4 in both knees) and the vet told me to let him keep growing and whatever weight he was at at 18 months was his adult weight (as long as he wasn't overweight) and I should keep him steady at that weight so as not to add pressure to his bad knees. He came to me at 6 lbs at one year and is now 7 lbs at a little over a year and a half. I'll have to ask again.
