Dear Gloria and all,
Here is a link that was sent to me a couple of years ago that I found very
helpful. It shows a flowchart with the testing protocols. It doesn't specify
much in the way of time frames though.
If the kittens tests a "weak" positive on the SNAP Elisa, there is a very good
chance that a later retest will be negaive. I was told to wait about a month
for a retest, but have had one older kitten test negative on retest in 10 days!
I had him retested sooner since he had been in foster care for over a month
and his brother tested negative even through they had been very close - mutual
grooming, play biting, sharing food dishes/litterboxes, etc. The SNAP tests
are VERY sensitive and can sometimes produce light or weak positives if the
kitten has been lightly exposed to URI but appears healthy.

have quite a bit of other info I have accumulated in case anyone is interested.
