Fecal exams or stool exams play a significant role in helping maintain your pet’s good health and well-being. Pets that are under one year of age should undergo 3-4 stool exams at specific dates recommended by a veterinarian. For adult pets, a minimum of 2 stool exams may be performed for monitoring and assessment. A stool exam is one of the basic tests that is performed during a pet’s regular wellness check. It’s also an important diagnostic tool for any pet that is manifesting diarrhea, vomiting, unexplained weight loss, etc. The presence of some parasites may also be detected during a routine fecalysis.
Fecal exams not only helps keep your pet healthy, it can also protect the human members of the pack from being infected with zoonotic parasites and parasite-born diseases. This is particularly important if you have very young kids, seniors, or family members with compromised immune systems living in your home.
