my vet ask for stool sample(s) taken at AM and PM and AM the next day and I put them in baggies with the date and time of sample. we very seldom have parasites where I live, we do not have fleas and they winter kill. when I am showing a dog they are not put with the other until they are home for 2 weeks and checked for everything (isolated)this has worked for me for more years than I care to mention. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Windwalkergsds@xxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 7:39 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Heartgard Plus Warning!
