For investigational purposes only.  The sensitivity of  this Clostridium difficile toxin test is maximized by freezing fecal samples that can not be sent chilled to the lab to arrive the next day, since these toxins are heat labile. If you are requesting other testing on feces or colon contents, such as parasitology exams for which the sample should not be frozen, it requires having two separate fecal specimens. The specimen held over a night or weekend can be frozen, labeled as "held frozen" and shipped with extra insulation/freezer packs.  A negative toxin test result on a sample that has not been handled in this way should be interpreted with caution as it may not reflect the actual disease status of the animal. Please consider the Foal Diarrhea/Septicemia Kit and Adult Equine Diarrhea Kit for equine submissions.
