what happens with the snap test is that, after the blood and the testing solution mingle for a certain amount of time (can't remember now how long, and it may differ from brand to brand, anyway), a little colored circle shows up. and yes, the little circle can be pale whatever-color, or bright..... i've never seen any documentation that there is any quantitative data on what "slightly" positive vs "definitely" positive means based on the color!
so she got basically the same result twice--maybe. still doesn't mean momma WAS positive, would have been positive in 3 months, etc..... i would still play out the links for her, once you have a new vet--she is woefully ignorant and a danger to her patients.

Here is the next bit of info on my situation - My husband went by the vet office to pay the bill for the "service" provided on the stray mama that died from the dog inflicted injuries. The vet was not at all happy that we were not bringing the kittens to her to be put to sleep - since she is confident they are all positve and will die. (she has never seen them) The vet now says the first test on the dying mother was "slightly postive" so she ran it again and it was "More positive." Is there such thing as slightly positive or is it just yes or no? I will never know if the mama cat was beyond treatment for sure, but I do know that the test was done about 4 hours after I left her there and no treatment or exam was done before that. The most important item on the list was this test. We are looking for another vet. Deana
