I've always read that ADV testing should be done after 12 weeks of age. You are saying that weaning time is of importance. Can you point me to the references for this? I do try to test but I'm becoming more of a skeptic about it since it seems that no matter how we test, or when we test, it's not correct or there are problems with the tests.
Is the later testing for ADV perhaps because the ADV tests aren't able to factor out residual antibodies that might be in the blood?
