Granny's gone and done it again

Is Bandit neutered?

Yes he is. All my critters are.

You can be positive without any symptoms.
The accuracy of some of the tests is not very good. Not sure which type is the best to take.

I think theres some motive behind it . Like $$for the hospitals for one thing.

any idea what I would do now ? I cut one and 3 more came . Will he shed them out this spring ?

You need to cut them out now. He could get skin problems from them.

I had to take my Lucy to the vet and have hers shaved off. Also have her, er, back end trimmed and cleaned. She is too fat to groom herself back there and she sure isn't gonna let us do it. I am gonna get blood work done on her and see if she has thyroid issues or is diabetic. I think she weighs over 15 lbs too. She is a pretty cat, but too heavy to be healthy.

Speaking of Star, Where is Prostar ?

No. You can have the virus and test positive for up to 14 days before the virus gets strong enough in your body to give you symptoms. But during those 14 days, you are breathing out virus all over the place and infecting everybody around you. You don't feel sick and you don't know you're sick. That's how the virus spreads so fast. That's why everybody should wear masks, stay home, wash hands, and social distance.

I'm not sure about all that. I do think when you are designing a test, a false negative causes more problems than a false positives for something like covid. A person thinks they're clear and goes around infecting a bunch more people. For that reason, the tolerances for the testing are set to allow for more false positives.
Dr's here aren't asking for tests before seeing patients, but they will ask about symptoms and take your temp before letting you into the office. At least, that's what the dentist and orthodontist and eye dr's have all done.
