After calling 7 veterinary hospitals, and being told no they dont have a herp vet, or yes we do, an exam is 125.00 bucks! :eek::eek::eek:

I finally found a vet!

wahoo!
exam is 70 bucks each!

BUT, I can bring poo in for a fecal WITHOUT bringing them in to be seen first!

So, as long as no one has parasites, I dont have to spend 70 bucks x 3 lizards!

YES!
So, guess what Ill be spending my weekend doing?!?! :rolleyes:

120 bucks for 3 fecals.. not bad.
 
Good to hear! I was actually lucky enough to find a vet who does home visits. cheap too. like 45$ for the visit. I will let you know how good with lizards he is after today. i hope he is knowledgable because you cant beat a at home vet.

I owuld love an at home vet. And I still hate the price of the exam... but since I dont have to bring them in to be seen first its ok.

grr...why do vets have to be so complicated? ive called the 3 closest vets, the two local ones dont do herps, the hospital does, but will charge at least $150 for a visit of any sort..and all the other vets are getting close to johnstown which is a 45 minute drive :/

did you ask if they have to see the cham first?
cuz this one doesnt. i can just bring in poo and then if they have worms, then i have to bring them in for an exam.

I dont see why you couldnt really. It might not be the most accurate since it would be dry. I cant see someone refusing money to try it though.:confused:

maybe send it in a baggie with a moist paper towel :p haha..would make fecals alot easier on us who do not have vets that do them for a reasonable price..i would do my own, but dont have the money for a microscope at the moment :/ and i graduate this year, so cant use the schools :(

Ill ask my vt when i go this weekend.. see if that would work. if you can mail it, then you can mail in the fecal and a check for the amount. and i can get your records and stuff for you. and send them back to you
