          Subject: Why should I test for ADV?...My opinion: *G*

          You Should Test...

          1)... so you *know* the status of your ferret, not just think you know.

          2)... so if your ferret develops ADV at some point in the future, knowing when you tested and the result may help you, and others, track down a possible source of infection.

          3)... until all the research is in on how ADV is transmitted, it is not an unreasonable thing to take measures to ensure that *you* may not have come in contact with an infected ferret and brought the virus home.

          4)... for information...your own...or researchers who could benefit from knowing where ADV is and isn't, where + ferrets are getting sick from it and where they aren't, so the hows and whys of ADV can be tracked down. If people don't test, even if there's no "scare" in that area...then the ferret is an "unknown", not a +, not a -, but untested and unknown as for status.
