If I get my dog tested at NCSU (North Carolina State Universtiy), what tests should I request?

Anyone know how accurate the canine tests are?

I think they are more accurate than human tests. Hope your doggie feels better soon!

how can it be more accurate??? I just had my dog at vet too and she was trying to tell me about lyme....

i asked how they could know so much about dogs , and that dogs have vacccine, and al lthat...

and they could see results within 5 minutes???????!!!!!!!!

what the heck?

and it was the ELISA!

I declined a test and said id think about it, and then the next week a giant blood filled tick fell off my dog. !!
