BATH
Bath Animal Hospital, working with the Sagadahoc County Board of Health, will provide low-cost fecal tests for pets during the month of February.
The clinic is designed to make community members more aware of the health threats posed to their pets by intestinal parasites, according to a release.
To participate, take a fresh stool sample to the Bath Animal Hospital or any other participating animal hospital during the month of February. For a discounted fee of $ 10, staff will screen for intestinal parasites, including roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, whipworms and coccidia. If a parasite is detected, the veterinarian will recommend steps to treat the infection.
Bath Animal Hospital is located at 15 Congress Ave. For more information or a list of participating animal hospitals, call 443-9006.
