Hello FML, I ordered the Hemoccult ll stool blood testing cards from http://medicalmailorder.com/index.html that Bob Church suggested and I am so glad I did. One of my guys was a bit off so I ran the tests as soon as I got them and sure enough blood came up a loud positive on him. He is now being treated with Carafate and I see big improvements so far. I am so grateful for these at home tests particularly in terms of treated & catching a possible ulcer, early. Alleviating some of the stress & time delay in getting proper treatment makes good sense. There was no shipping cost and I received the test in about 2 days. When I reported all my boys symptoms to the vet at his visit he started the Carafate. I would recommend these occult cards to anyone wanting to do some very simple--inexpensive first step testing at home- TO REPORT TO YOUR VET. Take Care Mary Ann You were once wild here.
