Egg count is what I meant,obviously,not worms

HAving said that, the labs did come back with samples as negative despite being presented with two which actually had live wriggling worms in (my housemates dog + toxocara). Apparently they didn't notice them. We just wormed the dog and hoped it didn't have anything else
