Quiz Case #3



Case 3
A six year old male Rottweiler (Cirus) has been brought
in because it has bloody diarrhea. The owner first noticed the diarrhea
yesterday, although it may have been going on for awhile. You see bright
red blood on the stool, which also appears to have mucus in it. Cirus is
allowed to run loose in the large wooded area behind the owner's house
and is known to catch and eat rabbits and rodents. Other neighborhood dogs
are also allowed loose in this same area. Raccoons, opossums, and deer
are common in the woods.
Which one of the following tests should you run on the
fecal sample?
