I looked on here and couldn't find any topics about how to test your frogs. I was just wanting to know how would I go about testing my frogs if anything ever goes wrong or comes up? As of right now all my frogs are healthy and eating well. I just want to know just in case anything goes wrong in the future. Knock on wood it never happens.

I use Research Associates Lab for chytrid/rana testing:

and Milan Area Animal Hospital for Fecals / Dr. Frye:

It is imperative to test and qt any frogs before introducing them into a permanent vivarium. If you find a local vet that does fecals, make sure you call beforehand and ask if they charge for the appointment along with the fecal exam. I tried a local avian and exotic vet office before and they charged me $80 for a visit and "fecal exam", which was far from helpful.
