We test small animals that weigh just a few grams so the smallest of samples can be tested for all parasites*.
In small reptile samples we may not be able to report numbers in the case of pinworms egg levels. To perform this we would need a minimum of 0.5g for the counting technique. These would still be reported by as subjective low-moderate-high if a smaller sample is submitted.
*For dog and cat tests including Baermann's (lungworm) testing - we require at least 3g faeces to complete this test as per general guidelines.
