Fecal Exam

Worms in the stool and other possible digestive problems can be found with a fecal exam.

In addition to regular visits for your adult cat, we recommend that you have annual fecal examinations performed by your veterinarian. Adult internal gastrointestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms are usually not shed in stools, making identification of a worm problem difficult. We provide fecal floatation tests, Baermann fecal tests and Idexx diarrhea panel.
