Hello FML-ers, My ferret Elvis is having some health problems that may be related to ADV, so I have ordered the ADV QuickChek tests for all my ferrets. The way I understand it, this is a test for ADV antibodies, not the virus itself. If one of my ferrets tests positive is there another test I can do that determines whether my ferret has ADV? Everything I have read indicates that a positive QuickChek test means the ferret has ADV, but doesn't the presence of antibodies indicate that the ferret was only exposed to the virus? I know with other antibody tests, like feline FIP, there is an additional test that can determine the presence of the actual virus. Is there such a test for ADV? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dooks, Serena and the Wrecking Crew: Conan the Destroyer "Who, me?" Elvis the Bear "Can I help? Can I, huh?"
