Have to agree with W, it doesn't ever cost much when my babies visit the vet. It only takes a couple of miniutes to find out if her stool sample is ok. Just get it fresh from her if you can, and remember to put it in the frig. Romeo usually christens the vets office with a fresh sample, I still take one anyways just in case.

Hope this helps....

: As for the wheezing sound-one of my gliders does this, it does sound
