Thats right i think they are in the process of developing new up to date ones which cover the newest strains.like i said before i did not have the mouth swab done to detect the flu virus as i did not know about it,i have never been offered this before,i also do not use a stud away from home,i have my own.my point is how many of you were actually offered this test before vaccinating to ensure your cat wasnt already a carrier??or did you ask for it??things are starting to quieten down here now,the antibiotics have finished so now i will wait a while to make sure there are no relapses then start the process of testing and vaccinating accordingly.I have had no official diagnosis of calcivirus as yet,but the symptons showing matched the virus named.Also no kittens have left here since the arrival of my suspect cat.
