Hi Tiffany,
I would be very interested to know what type of microscope and the solution recipe ... and...where would I be able to get a chart of all the different little nasties that would need to be treated for. I am in the same boat as Miriam, my tortoise has to be seen by a vet that does reptiles (not all vets do reptiles), and he is almost an hour away. It would be great to be able to do some of this myself.
