Principle

Feline coronavirus usually presents with intestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. In more severe cases, dehydration may also occur. Coronaviruses mainly harm kittens two to three months old. They are transmitted through the digestive tract and have a low mortality rate. Generally, they can be cured through treatment.

Feline Panleukopenia

When kittens are infected, they develop fever, reduced appetite, and poor energy, followed by frequent vomiting and severe dehydration. Some cats may also have abdominal pain and loose bowels, and even bloody stools that resemble tomato juice. Viral enteritis can kill up to 90% of unvaccinated kittens. If a pregnant female cat is infected with cat plague, it will cause stillbirth, abortion, and newborn kittens will also appear neurological symptoms.

The onset of cat plague is rapid and the symptoms are obvious, usually presenting two extremes. If the short-term course of disease is more than 5-7 days and no fatal complications occur, it is often able to recover, so it is a hurdle to survive a week. If the disease persists for a long time and the symptoms do not abate, the course of the disease can be painful and the fatality rate can be 60-70% or more.

Giardia symptoms in cats

Many cats show no symptoms when they become infected, but the parasites attach to the intestinal wall and cause sudden, foul-smelling diarrhea. Symptoms usually include:

Loss of appetite/weight loss

Vomiting, bloating, stomach cramps, nausea

Stools are greasy and thick

Feces has bloody

Diarrhea, thinning consistency of stool

Test Procedure

-Collect dog’s ocular, nasal or anus secretions with the cotton Swab and make the Swab wet sufficiently.
-Insert the Swab into the provided assay buffer tube. Agitates it to get efficient sample extraction. 
-If using serum or plasma specimen, use the dropper to collect the specimen. 

-Place 3 drops of serum or plasma into the assay buffer tube for dilution. The diluted sample is used as sample extraction. 
-Take out the test card from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
-Suck the treated sample extraction from the assay buffer tube and place 3 drops into each sample hole “S” of the test card. 
-Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.

INTERPRETATION OF ASSAY RESULT

- Positive (+): Whether the T line is clear or fuzzy, the "C" line and the region "T" line are present.

- Negative (-): Shows only the sharp C line. No T line.

- Invalid: no color lines in zone C. Whether the T line appears or not.

Precaution

-All reagents must be tested at room temperature.

-Do not take the test tape out of the bag before use.

-Do not use the test after the expiration date.

-The components in this kit have been used as a standard batch processing unit for quality control testing. Do not mix parts of different batch numbers.

-All specimens are potentially infected. Must be treated strictly in accordance with the local country's rules and regulations.

Limitation 

Canivet cdv-cav-cvi-cpiv antigen combination test is only used for in vitro veterinary diagnosis. All results should be considered with other clinical data and can be discussed with the veterinarian. When a positive result is detected, it is recommended to use further confirmation methods such as RT-PCR.
