| Giardia or Roundworm in fecals? I've read both and would love confirmation. It's being discussed on GG. | |

| I was just on my way here to ask, as well. I, too, would love to get confirmation on this. | |

| I've had vets tell me that if the tech checking the fecal is inexperienced or if their not fully informed on what their looking at (bee pollen in a diet) then the bee pollen can be mistaken for a parasite. Which one, I'm not sure- just that it does resemble a parasite. | |

| Roundworm.....Giardia is very very small and is missed because it needs to be looked at 100x and roundworm eggs can be clearly seen at 40x
Let me go check my photobucket, I think I have some pictures hanging around over there | |
