I'd like to share some newly acquired practical knowledge.

(1) The day your vet says "Bring us a fecal sample in 2 or 3 weeks and we'll verify that the coccidia is gone." is 2 weeks to the day before she *stops* pooping in a nice pile in the front of the enclosure and starts pooping where she runs her laps.

(2) The reason you don't put bran in right after Albon treatment isn't just in case they're still carrying coccidia (OK, maybe it is, but work with me here), it's because you'll never get another nice sample of poop again. (see (1))

(3) The moment you set up a bath tub with the sole purpose of collecting some poop for the vet is the moment they do a run-by pooping on their interstate freeway and disperse it into a million little bran-encrusted pieces.

I'm learning, albeit slowly.

Same laws apply to children or any other animal I wonder how the world existed before doctors?

Does this make Doctors the oldest profession?
