Title: Collecting poo samples
Post by: Tiggy's Mum on February 27, 2009, 17:26:05 PM
For those that have done this... I've been given one sample tube with a mini shovel and the receptionist said to pile 3 days of samples on top of each other.  I queried this and asked if it should be a separate bottle for each sample but she said not.  Was she right?!

If that what she says then that's what I'd do  :) (soz I had to pop off then someone at the door) I can see what you mean though you'd think that they'd be separate, I've only done human ones and they were and had to be kept in the fridge if I remember  :sick: but if you double checked this with her and the fact she should be handing these out quite alot she should be right.  Blame her if not  ;)
good luck with this Helen xx

I will do  :evillaugh: It's about a 15 minute drive to the vets so I won't be best pleased if I have to go all the way back over for more tubes  :innocent: Also if they are meant to be separate then that's going to delay poor Riley getting better as the sooner we find out what's causing it the sooner he can be treated  :(

Took a sample in for Archie before Christmas as he kept having stomach upsets and thankfully was ok. Hoping the same with Riley :hug:
