Hello all. The University of Guelph had the following to say about testing American blood samples for ADV "Hi Randy, We have no problem in testing American samples, provided they can ship them (legally) across the border." The costs are as follows; $40 for the 1st 20 blood samples and $2 for each additional sample. I think this will help out American shelters to batch test multiple ferrets but will be cheaper to send to United for small numbers of ferrets. Now I am unaware of the procedures of shipping blood across the border and i have NO idea if i'll have the time to figure it out for you guys. If anyone has the time to do it and fill me in, I would appreciate it :) i've got a lot on my plate right now and while i would love to take this project on, i just can't right now. For info on how to send the tests in, please have your vet contact Animal Health Laboratory, Laboratory Services Box 3612, University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario N1H 6R8 Phone: (519) 824-4120 ext. 54524 Fax: (519) 821-8072 <http://ahl.uoguelph.ca/> I hope this info is of some use to all of you :) HUGZZZZZZZZZZ Miss Randy Melanie Belair President The Ferret Aid Society www.ferretaid.org <http://www.ferretaid.org/> Join us for the IFC Ferret Aid 2006 Conference!
