[Jacob-list] OPP testing.....

[Linda Bjarkman]

I've only tested once.  Tests were $10/each (not counting the vet visit, which was 
$40).  The tests were done at our state university (University of Georgia).   My vet 
said to call in 10 days, which I did, and the results were back.  (negative) 

What are the reasons for retesting or rerunning the tests?  

I'm not testing on a regular basis and probably won't, although I imagine I'll do a 
random test now and then.
