yes when I took Skye to the vet a couple of years ago that is the first thing he tested was her poo and when I took one of my babies last year he took a crop sample and tested it.

can someone please tell me what sort of damage can be done with putting a thermometer up a birds vent? Probably none - the vent of a bird can stretch quite a bit - as long as it didn't go too far in. I've never had to autopsy a conure, but with a cockatiel you wouldn't want to go in more than 5 mm. I'll ask our vet. cheers, Mike |

The vet only just put the tip of it in the vent.
