Title: How fresh for sample?
Post by: NethertonSH on May 13, 2016, 10:16:19 am

Hi,

I've got a tup with suspected fluke so going to take a sample to the vets. I'm standing here waiting for a fresh sample but he's taking his time.

I collected one yesterday evening. Would that be fresh enough?

Thanks.

I'd wait for a fresh one. A sure fire way of making them poo is to get really close and try to dag him; especially if you are wearing clothes you want to keep clean  :roflanim:

Ha! Think I'll give him a little longer before I give that a try.

Got it! It's not often I'm as happy to see a big sqittery poo!
