This is why we send all f***l tests to the lab as they check for antigen to many gi parasites and not just look for parasite eggs. This dog has cystoisospora (coccidia). I suspect we are finding it early as she has no diarrhea or sickness yet. Last week we had a dog with bookworm antigen who needed deworming and hookworm is a zoonotic disease that people can get.
