That is very strange to me.
Did the vet say why that was necessary?

They were worried it was fungal, and this is the test they decided on?

Nope outside my knowledge base.

Maybe they mean a test to see what fungus it is….if it is fungal?

Yes, that’s what I mean. Communication isn’t super clear because I’m out of town so I had to have my family take her to the vet.
