What exactly is a fecal float? My birds don't act sick, if I ever have a bird acting off occasionally it usually dies within 24 hours?
Ok, I see thanks!You take a sample of their poop to a vet, and they will do a test that will separate any possible internal parasites from the poo, so they can stick it under a microscope to identify which one(s) might be there.
Gather a few samples and take them to your vet, state lab or there are also kits you can buy on Amazon to send for testing. They look at the samples you send in to see if there are worm eggs and should i.d. the type of worm(s) so you can treat with the right medication. Not all wormers are effective on every worm, so knowing what you have/are dealing with helps.What exactly is a fecal float?
