Doctors know that tests are not the final answer.

Some are lab errors, and some reflect momentary changes in the patient, that may be fugitive, etc.

Patients tend to think tests are the end all of diagnosis. But in reality they may not be accurate at all.

So testing again may reflect this. Or it may reflect the liability attitude of the doctor, to cover all bases etc.

I really think it is pretty rare, to have doctors agree on anything.

In our case here just with our very sick cat, I am now on my FOURTH VET! What a hairy trip this has BEEN!

Without knowing exactly what tests are being ordered, it is difficult to respond to this question.
