Thank you all so much!

Catlady711, he probably would have ripped me off, but I worked for him forever, and he cant pull it over on me. I asked for the accuracy rate ( I always do).
The test runs from 65-85 dollars, and I cant waste money on unneccessary things, ya know? I still have 4 other cats to treat and test.
But no symptoms yet, so all is well for right now.

Price wise I think we charge around $60-65 to send it out to the lab so that seems like a reasonable price range.

I'm confused if you worked for him for years but say 'he probably would have', then I take it he would normally have done the testing with other clients then??

My boss won't do any uneccessary tests unless the clients get down right ornery about insisting for them even when explained why now isn't the time to do one or whatever the reason is.

He is the type of doctor who would have said " If it will ease your mind to have it done, then lets do it" or "Price wise it isnt bad". It is worth a shot... I dont think he would have told others the TRUTH about the test. That it isnt as great as they might think.

He wants owners to be calm and not make rash decisions. Most people would shudder and run away from a possible FIP cat, so he would want them to feel better in their decision to keep the cat. Whatever it takes to get them to keep an animal.

BUT I will say that he would not come out and say that the test is inaccurate, and has such a low accuracy rate. He would leave it up to the owner. AND most owners would do the test, just to get a false sense of security, ya know?

I'm glad to hear that Abbie's spay went well and that she's now home and doing well.

Just out of curiousity, did he say how the kittens (the ones he aborted) were developed? With her being so young, I was just curious. I am soooo glad she is doing well. I knew she would be okay. You are a great foster mom!
