Awesome blog Bill! This is a great resource. One challenge I have seen when talking with a few people about treatment decisions is that veterinarians do not understand this fact: husbandry is the key to fighting parasite infections. I have also seen them throw the book at animals including antibiotics - the only explanation I can think of is they believe the parasite has already caused secondary infections so they start trying to treat those.

I have heard from multiple people that they really enjoy your course and it has been fun to see more people taking out their microscrope and doing their own fecals. I bet we will look back in 5 years and say "that was when this became a standard practice" - I can't wait to see them out in the wild sharing their findings!
