I'll leave that up to the vet when the time comes, if it low.
Since he is willing to test and is a member of the AAHA I feel
more confident going here. He'll also know what is contageous
in our area and how many of whatever cases he has seen as
far as parvo etc. We'll see on the 28th.

Thanks again,
