Fecal testing

I was wondering on my first vet visit for my new puppy should i get a fecal test?  Since I will be giving the pup the preventative meds (Metronidazole and Panacur), I wasn't sure if that was necessary?

Thanks

Answer:


Fecal testing on a new puppy is a great plan.  There are other conditions of the intestinal tract not affected by those medications.  If the tests are negative you do not need to administer those medications.
