Tortoise Faecal Project 2010 / Free Faecal Screening
Hi,
Just for info - some may want to help out and/or take the opportunity to have their tortoises faeces screened. The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Exotic Animal Team are conducting a survey in 2010 into the incidence of faecal parasites and pre disposing factors in common species of chelonians. If you would like to assist the R(D)SVS with their survey and at the same time obtain a free faecal screen for your tortoise, please follow the below link for further details:- http://www.tortoise-protection-group...k/site/174.asp |
