To my understanding those green and clear plastic "Fecalyzer" cups are made so that you can pop the green part out, put the fecal sample into the clear cup, add half the solution, then put the green part back in and mush the poo back and forth with it before snapping the green part back into place. This makes it so you do not need to use a strainer or really and materiel other than the cup and solution.
Ah Yes!! That's what is is used for
Very clear and well explained, great job! I've never used the sedimentation technique for fecals, it would definitely be a much more reliable way of finding tapeworm eggs. Sometimes we know the pet has them, but we cant see them on the float because the eggs are too heavy, no matter how long the sample sits. I'll definitely have to try that one!
On a side note, I love how clean and organized their clinic is in all of her videos. I wish our treatment area was this nice! Sometimes we get comfortable with having unnecessary clutter everywhere and we forget that we work in medical facilities.
Thank you for this very informative video. I’m on a fixed income and veterinary care cost have shot up to the moon like everything else we and our pets need. I need to save where I can and this might be one of the options I can actually do to accomplish that.
Great work sister❤
Thank you..
You are very intelligent and smart
Girl I didn't know you were a vet tech. I'm currently working for the first time at idexx and wanted to look up more about parasitology. But I do this everyday. Very easy process. However we implement the fecal float method.
Well explained
thank you !!!
It's good, but what is the fecal soluction material?
What stain did you use?
Thanks
How many RPM is it for faecal setting on the centrifuge?
It’s a bit late but usually it’s set at 1500 rpm for 3-5 minutes
Hi mem I say something about my illness.
You didn't show the slide, dang, that why I came here. Good job on the prep work though, no money shot tho.
pewp... On to look for images of coccidia and pewp dwelling organisms. Thanks for sharing this vid.
can i share more information please on my phone
Thinking about becoming a vet tech so I watched this video. If I can do that I should be able to do anything.
You’re contaminating the whole room after picking up the poop gauze!
Excellent 👍🇵🇰
This is really gross !
Yay so early woohoo. Hey Victoria so happy I found your channel and love your vet vlogs. I'm from Sydney and have been studying to be a Veterinary Nurse for almost 2 years now. I need to find a clinic to do my work placement in. So excited can't wait :)
I knoowww it's so early!! Thank you so much for watching :) Good luck in school! I'm excited you get to work in a clinic soon! I hope you love it!
What stain did you use?
Your videos are very informative, will be going to school in the spring for VET TECH!!! and feel like i know so much already. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I got really excited that I understood some of this stuff!!! You’re sharing keeps me motivated and enthusiastic! 🌈
Aww! Thank you so much for watching :)
You inspired me more and more !! Thanks love your Chanel and you do an excellent job!!! I'm so glad to find out about this Chanel 🙌🏽💉👨🏽⚕️😉
This was really helpful! Please make some more content
New subscriber by I get excited when you upload because these videos are so up my alley, I want to study to be a vet
Awww! Thank you so much for watching :)
I really like your videos! I just recently graduated with a degree in veterinary nursing and I find your videos to be very helpful :)
Congrats on graduating! Thank you so much for watching :)
Ok so first of all I love you and your videos. I was just wondering - so you started as a veterinary assistant correct? What did you do to get certified - was it your first four years of college? Also, what are you at your clinic right now? Are you a vet nurse? If so how can you do that without having finished college? I'm just really interested how you did this so I can know in the future. Also, I'm deciding between a vet and a vet tech/nurse, what are the different jobs vets and vet techs have? Thanks! Also I love this how to playlist - I watched your entire veterinary nursing playlist!
I wish you could have done a video showing the different types of blood tubes are used for example : CBC, Heart worm test ect
Your vids are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are amazing! Thank you :)
Nice video
What's in the fecal solution and why did you add saline?🤗🤔
amazing sister
amazing sister
Which microscope do you use, please?
I have a question ? Why are you using the sodium nitrate,? We usually used the distilled water. Is there any difference in use of sodium nitrate solution and distilled water.
The major, major difference is that solutions made for fecals have a different (don't remember if higher or lower) specific gravity than water, which helps make eggs float
I’m doing this now in Parasitology lab. Every week we do them and I️ just cannot with that smell lol the ruminant poop is wayyyy better than dogs and cats that’s all I️ have to say haha I’ve only found one parasite and that was Toxocara canis one time lol my friend found a Ancylostoma yesterday and an adult worm we might have thought came from the environment and got into the poo more so than grew in the dog. But yeah I️ was excited for her. We checked some rescue kittens and. lot of people found Coccidia. Thank you for your videos. I️ love them! ❤️
It's so much fun to find parasites! Thank you so much for watching :)
Yeah, the mostly meat diet of dogs and cats (along with treats and some people food) is what make it so rank smelling. Ruminant is mostly grain and grass feed, so it tends to smell a bit better.
@@skellymom This was quite the conversion
I watched this before I worked at an animal hospital and I watched it again just now and you did that so many ways yet none of them is the way we do it where I work 😳 so weird haha
i m vet i like that experiments
Clinic specific
awesome thank you. Doing our own fecals for parasites in our herd.
I’m in junior college studying towards a career in the vet field. My counselor suggested a biology major. Is this the best in your opinion if I’m planning on transferring?
This may sound weird but fecal floatations are one of my favorites it’s even better when you find a parasitic egg under the microscope 🔬 lol
Girl..... I LOVE finding eggs under the microscope. It's so exciting! hahahaha
Vet nurses are so weird😜. Great video 😍
I really need advice!! I work in a animal hospital and bird clinic. I love my job and my coworker but our doctor is truly something else... I've been there 6 months and have seen over 20 people walk out and quit. We have a great hospital and staff but it's only one vet tech and the doctor. We can't even keep a file clerk or a receptionist longer than two weeks. Our last vet tech that was in for a working interview cried literally the in entire shift. It's always because of the doctor. I just need advice on how to deal with these kinds of doctors and is this normal? I'm a ct/animal assistant we have more cleaner techs than actual vet techs.. it's ridiculous.
Ekkkk. That sounds like an awkward situation you are in. Some people are more difficult to work with than others - you just have to decide if it's worth it in the long run for you. You can either find a way to make it work with the doctor or find a new doctor to work for. There are tons of veterinary clinics out there and no clinic is exactly the same. You should have a work environment that is fun and easy to be in, we are at work more than we are at home - so spend your time in a place you enjoy. Hope I helped :)
aloe badman my advise is quit! I we t thru something similar and doesn’t get better
Yes gorgeous you r very inteliagence
