Testing from WADDL

I've tested for CAE from biotracking.com every year for a while, but decided to use WADDL (Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab) to test for more diseases this year. Called them. They recommended CAE, CL, and Johne's.

Got my results yesterday. All tests NEGATIVE.

It cost about $22 to get all three tests done, plus shipping, plus a $10 fee.

COMPLETELY WORTH IT for peace of mind.

Their website:

Will WADDL work directly with the animal owner? I don't have a vet who will bother to work with goats. I remember looking at their site before and getting the impression that they pretty much worked through veterinarians.

I use WADDL too, definitely worth the money I agree.

Yes, thermopkt WADDL will work directly with the animal owner. My vet drew my blood & I packaged it up & sent it myself. Had my results back with in a week.

Congrats on the negative test results Alice.

Yup. No problem not having a vet. I was intimidated by their website, too, so I called.
