storing a fecal sample

mldolan Apr 05, 2008 04:48 PM

my vet requested a fecal and (of course) my BP obliged on a saturday evening. luckily i caught it literally as it was coming out (was giving it a shot for a RI) but the vet doesn't open till monday. i have the little container, and it is in the fridge, the vet was specific about not letting it dry out. will it be ok till monday? should i add some water to keep it from drying out? man i hate giving my little snake shots. 3 down 4 to go. but it is a sure way to get a fecal. poor little guy.

it will be fine if you put it in a very small air-tight container that is coincides with the size of the stool.

good luck with the snake!, ~Doug
