Debi, the president, told me to bring Marina Mar to her and she would have blood taken and sent out to a lab. "Snap" tests, as they are called, often test positive if done before 4 months of age.

The second, more reliable test turned out NEGATIVE!! Have them do the blood test. PLEASE!!

You know Donna it seems that the vet was slightly confused which is what I believed in the beginning. The is the first practice she has been involved in as a 'vet' per say. She was involved more on an assistant level before now.

As it goes right now I am waiting to hear from my vet in canada. I emailed him friday and he got back to me saying he tried to call but could not get through. So he said he is going to go over my email this weekend and get back to me with everything I want to know tomorrow(monday). Vega is not going anywhere. She is staying with us unlesss it is absolutely necessary to rehome her. She will be tested for sure. I am just waiting for Dr.D (my vet in canada) to tell me the best time to go so.

Thanks so much everyone
Michelle
