I highly recommend printing our Form AQS-39 "Summary for Veterinarians" (found
here) when bringing your dog or cat to the vet for their rabies titer test. Unfortunately, like most vets, ours was unfamiliar with the process for appropriately bringing a pet over to Hawaii and I found it very useful. But please note I still found our Countryside Veterinary Hospital to be the most patient, comprehensive, and helpful vet!! We highly recomend them to all our friends with animals.
The FAVN (Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralization) titer testing measures the response of the animals immune system to the rabies vaccine. $200 later for the testing alone + $60 vet visit and Doodles had officially given her blood for rabies testing. Step one in the 120day quarantine process complete... or so we hope!
