No. Saliva tests are not accurate. For that matter, even professionally run blood tests have false results occasionally. This was discussed in depth not too long ago, check the archives for anything with ELISA,SNAP, or FELV testing in the subject. Phaewryn Please save Whitey!

Kerry, I never answered this question. I/D helped Lucy for a few weeks and then she grew sensitive to it, and even a few pieces of it would set her off at this point. Have you started Inky on the low dose flagyl yet? if so, is it helping? It really seems to be helping Lucy so far, knock

Oh man, that Lucy keeps you guessing! I don't know Michelle... I'm pretty sure I've had vets prescribe a 5 day dose of abx before, usually it is 7 to 10 days. I think Hideyo told me she gives them just long enough for symptoms to subside, (definitely not recommended by the veterinary

Thanks, Nina. The vet just called back and said to stop the clavamox and see, so I guess I will do that. She's had 4.5 days of it now. Her coat does not look oily, but it does look funny-- a little sticky-outy. It could be because of the winter dryness setting in here, I guess. I have not

A good physical therapist may be of more help than a chiropractor, and around the same cost. Worth a try if the chiro isn't helping. Equine assisted therapy on a horse may help too. When I developed a compression fracture in my back as a pre-teen, the only way I got any relief on the bad
