THANK YOU!!

I want to buy a microscope for doing my own fecal flottation test. Can someone tell me if this microscope would do the job, even for coccidiosis?

I couldn't get the link to work, sorry. As long as you have at least 100X you will be able to see cocci.

Thanks. The one 'm looking for is the following. Would it does the job you think?

Yes, that is basically the same one as I use and will work very well.

Hello all,

My friend has sent me a pic that she took of her sick Rooser's fecal float. Any idea what it is? TIA

Was this picture taken in the field of view at 10x magnification? It's a little hard to tell, but it looks like a ragweed spore???? Take a look at the example here: http://www.theanswervet.com/wormsindogscats.html and tell me what you think.

I think it's hickory pollen. Not sure. It's ok. It isn't something dangerous

Yes, nothing to be concerned about.
