What do parasites look like?

[Deevo]

I have professional lab equipment available for my use at university and would like to check my kinyongia's poop for anything not normal.

I have a basic understanding of what parasites would look like but is there anything specific I should look for?

I don't mean to take business away from a vet but the Exotic and Avian centre at my school still wants to charge me $140 for a test which I think is completely ridiculous.

They would like $100 just for walking in the door and another $40 for the flotation test.

haha, saw your comment on my fecal float picture thread. I am going to do some mroe floats this weekend. I will post more pictures of what I find. It easier to do when you know what you are looking for.
