>From: Gail Elsey <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: surviving the vets >Question--what type of blood tests is used for the ADV? Serum, clotted, ? The best test for ADV isn't a blood test at all. Avecon makes two test that require you to rub their gums for a minute with a cotton swab. Then you stir the sqab around in a little water. With one, you send the vial of water to them. With the other, you apply it to the test yourself and get an instant reading. Go to http://www.avecon.com to get their phone number and such to order. -- Russ, Booger, Bonnie & Clyde [log in to unmask] URA Redneck if you consider dating second cousins "playing the field."
