Re: Snap Test

You phone the vet and if you have a good vet, they say "yes of course, come in at [ time of appointment ]".

You go in with your fur-child and the nurse or vet can do either a cheek scrape or a small sample of blood. My vet takes a small blood sample and the good thing is, they did not even shave my queen.

Half an hour later (and around £42 lighter from the purse) you get a piece of paper confirming that your cat is negative for FELV and Enteritis. This is valid for 24 hours so you can take your queen straight round to the stud or you can go a bit later but so long as you are within the 24 hrs, your breeder will be happy with that result.

If your vet is not up to scratch (as one vet asked me once "is this a pregnancy test?") then ask the breeder if you can contact their vet for this test.
