I know this has been addressed in the forum before, but I couldn't find the thread. I need to get a stool sample from Suni and don't know how to do it. Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted! Thanks.
Yup, get it the freshest you possibly can. And make sure you have it from the right cat! (If you have more then one that is.) Don't worry if their's a little cat litter on it.
Thanks for the suggestions (especially the one about making sure it's from the right cat--I have 2!). Now I have a few follow ups: exactly how fresh is fresh, and can I keep it in the fridge for short-time storage?
ewwww! I would not put cat poo in the fridge! I just pick something just before I go to the vet. And, surprisingly, I can tell which cat did which "sample"
Its ok to refrigerate.(i do) but not nessisary if your going to bring it in that day or the next. It is best to bring it in the same day you collect it. Its just that they dissolve a bit of it in a solution and look at it under a microscope. If its rock hard it dosent dissolve as well and the results are not optimal. But either way it can get done.
