I wish I could answer that one Fancie... it's tough to say, and it sounds like the vet isn't always easily on board for a test like that. If it helps, I know that my friend's DD with PANDAS does have an immune deficiency - so perhaps that's why she was much more susceptible to the strep from the dog? I sometimes wonder if she passed it to the dog and maybe because of her immune issues, maybe that is why it was so tough to clear up the strep from coming back. I'm not sure that one can be answered yet.
I definitely think it wouldn't hurt to ask a few folks from the medical community - both human and animal.
Lots of well wishes to your son - it's sad having family and friends not feeling well.
