Lisa,
Could you please tell us how you quarantine while you are awaiting
the test results? I have used the POCT because I can test and
immediately take the ferret into my home. Though I could board at
the vet's office for several days, I think my money is better spent
on other animal things.
Based on past reading and what has been said the last couple of days
on this list, my impression is that the Avecon POCT saliva test is
accurate if given correctly (following the instructions). Are you
saying that you have seen (or heard of) false results from this test
also? I haven't heard that about the saliva test if I am correctly
understanding what I've read.
