Worm count in France

[Randonneuse]

Hello!

Not sure anyone can help but does anyone know of a French company doing worm count please?
My mum has 2 donkeys there and would like to have a worm count done but doesn't seem to find anything online!
(I don't think vets in France are very up to date with that kind of things!

Thanks a lot

I will speak to a friend later (if I see her and remember) who has just moved back from France, she should know lol
I'll let you know if I find anything out.

I would call westgate.
I'm sure they could arrange something - Even if the postage is just a bit more.

I used Westgate for years in the UK and they are very good but they need the sample within 24 hours and I am not sure that would work with the post from France.

According to a post on Total France, these people do as many worm counts as you want for 15 euros a year, but I haven't used them so can't comment:

My vet does worm counts, you just take the sample to her and she looks at it in the lab so not very expenssive, perhaps your vet offers a similar service?

Thanks everyone,

My mum will ring the vet on Monday, hopefully he'll do it
I use Westgate and Abbey diagnostic for my horse here but I think Booboos is right, from France the sample wouldn't reach them within 24hours!
