Enteritis and any bacteria related images. So if any one out their has any images or knows of a site on the internet that I can access I would be most grateful. :question: Link to comment

Dr Rob marshals book is also very very good, regardless of price it us well worth it! Also I am not sure but I can send you some notes from my microbiology course on staining slides etc if you are interested! I have had a few crop flushes under the microscope now and was totally blown away by some if the stuff that us found under the microscope! If you would like anything I have text books coming out the wazoo on microorganisms, pH tolerances, etc etc! Edited June 26, 2011 by Finnie Link to comment

Every time I checked the birds poops all I ever found was megabacteria, never seemed to be able to find cocci. Maybe the birds didn't have it. But if you have some good notes or directions I would be very happy to read them. Cheers Link to comment

There is a trick to staining ;-) also what dyes are you using! Looking at poop under the microscope requires a good eye, if you found the mega your eye is obviously quiet good :-) cocci are not as easy to find! I had to grow my cultures to be able to get a good look at them! Link to comment

I know the method of preparation of slides is quite complex. There are some online guides on how to prepare slides. There are kits also for doing tests on fecal matter where they do fecal flotation. I think they sell kits for lizards online. Look for fecal flotation methods. I found some interesting and complete guides online for doing this. I would link something but I don't think we are allowed. Also some nice photographs of what you are looking for are online. Link to comment
