Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Blood Draws
You should probably check with your vet to see if you can draw the BVD
blood test yourself. Since it is a test with legal implications, many
states demand that a vet draw the sample. Additionally, your vet may not
be willing to sign the papers as to BVD status he or another vet did not
draw it.
