but how many of you know how to do youre own fecals, basic, and maybe fast acid stain? im tempted to learn just for knowing (and i have a long 3 months with not much to do). where can you get the supplies to do the fecals at? i know i can just go to the vet and have them do it if i need it, but i like to try new things and as i said i need stuff to do.

thanx
Ashley

I'm starting out with this, myself. The book gives explicit instructions on how to make a saturated sugar solution, so that and a microscope with slides, and some vials, is all the equipment you need. Latex gloves wouldn't hurt.

Merthiolate can be used as a stain (that's the iodine-based wound disinfectant found in drug stores).
