 De-lurking twice in one day.....
 
 My vet said selenium levels flucuate over a 24 hr. period, therefore blood
should be drawn several times to get a 24 hr. base line.
   Maybe one of the Vets on this list can comment.....

While I understand that there is some fluctuation, my understanding is that it
is not of a tremendous magnitude.  Hence, a one-time test will still give you
sufficient information to know if your horse has adequate levels or not.
