No idea, it varies from vet to vet. Why do you want to know his blood group? |

There is a problem with different blood groups in the sire and dam and if this is the case then without intervention the kittens will die, your vet is wrong. I don't know how much it is to do the blood group test. I know you can do it via a buccal cell swab and send it to Animal DNA in Australia. It costs $50 australian dollars that is which is about £28. They are very good as I use them. The main breed to suffer from this problem is BSH. I will find a link for you to read up on it. Please can we be a bit more helpful on Catsey. I am beginning to realise why I hadn't been here for awhile!!! |

Here are some more links to the one Elaine posted:- http://www.messybeast.com/bloodgroups.htm http://www.winnfelinehealth.org/Page...and_NI_Web.pdf This link shows some of the breeds that have an issue and to what percentage. If you are wanting to go down the avenue of the DNA swab you will need to get two swab kits asap. This is the link to Animal DNA:- http://www.animalsdna.com/ It is really easy to do the swabs, you can do them yourself and get them sent back the same day that you receive the kit. |

I only asked the question Kay as it all seems a bit disorganised and disjointed, I also thought that the FAB link would have been useful and helpful. |

That's fair enough Elaine but it just sounds a bit negative and not just on this thread that this new member has started. |
