This is exactly what my vet does (Dr. Hutchison's vet clinic). They have two pickup times. If you get the blood drawn and ready by noon, the results are back within 3-4 hours. Anytime after noon, the results are back the next morning. We do wait one or two days after the prog. level reaches 5. > We used to use a test that was one my vet did in his office (we called > it the Target Test) but that turned out to be not as accurate as the one > we send out to the lab and get an actual lab report back. There has been some type of problem with the test kits of late. I don't think it is an actual problem with the test itself, but more like a recent problem in quality control--production of the test kits. Dr. Hutchison has completely quit using the tests for now for this reason. All the blood taken for prog. testing is sent to a nearby regular human lab.
