Pinworm - sticky tape egg lifting

[Nicnac]

I am still not convinced that I have managed to eradicate youngster's pinworm despite carrying out worming as prescribed and having poo analysed.

I haven't seen a little blighter poking out for a couple of weeks, but every few days do find what could be eggs around anus despite washing with hibiscrub around area daily and using baby oil to stop eggs sticking.

Vet now wants me to lift anything suspect i.e. eggy looking or yellowish stain with tape for further analysis.

Dilemma is this - I lift off with sellotape but then get in a right mess as how to 'keep' it. What do you do with the tape once you get the sample? Stick it to another piece of sellotape or to a bit of clingfilm?

Help please

Ask your vet for a protocol? as he suggested it.

just fold it over - sticky side together!

Make a sellotape sandwich with the contents inside. We do lots of these for our customers as a free extra.

Have you done a month of wiping round the bum and dock everyday with ivermectin lotion ?

Yes pinworm tests are a free added extra for our customers. Pinworm is a pain, but not really important in terms of horse worms. We have an info sheet too if you would like one? Can be emailed or posted.
