Hi Leanne,
If you have the Avecon quick test already,
then read the directions carefully and run the test.
If you have any positives or problems then we can run
either United's blood test (CEP) or Avecon's blood test
(ELISA) to verify the results.
Avecon claims that its test will only pick up antibodies
that are produced in response to the virus actually multipling
in the ferret (ie not just exposure to the AD virus but actual
AD virus replicating in the ferret).
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
