DIY Fecal Exams

So, for those who do these do you have any microscope recommendations? Specifically one that attaches to a computer. I think it would be great to be able to do this, though I would only use it as a precurser to a vet, I wouldn't feel comfortable giving drugs without an expert opinion.

I like microsocopes anyways so a good excuse to buy one that will let me better track my gecko's health would be great!

Buying a microscope (of good quality) is not going to be a cheap investment. You can do some research and see which microscopes will fit your needs and in your budget for one. I wouldn't suggest getting one without the ability or know how to treat them. No matter what you find a vet will still have to confirm what you suspect before anything can be done. If it is purely for your own pleasure then have at it and purchase a good book for proper ID of the different parasites and their stages of development.

It would be more for my own pleasure, I am not a vet and don't want to be one. I think it would be.A great learning tool for my son as well. I plan on having a lot of science in our house.
