The Giardia Antigen Rapid Test Kit for Cats & Dogs is a diagnostic tool designed for the rapid detection of Giardia antigens in canine and feline fecal samples. Giardia is a protozoan parasite that causes gastrointestinal illness in both dogs and cats, often resulting in symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and dehydration. It is highly contagious and can spread through contaminated water, food, or environments. Early detection and treatment are essential for managing Giardia infections and preventing transmission to other animals or humans.
This test kit uses lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) technology, which is a simple, reliable, and quick method to detect Giardia antigens in fecal samples. When the sample is applied to the test device, it migrates along the membrane, where specific antibodies bind to Giardia antigens if they are present.
The Giardia Antigen Rapid Test Kit for Cats & Dogs is known for its high sensitivity and specificity, which helps minimize the risk of false positives or false negatives.
Giardia can be passed in stool intermittently, and an animal may appear healthy or without signs of disease before it stops passing Giardia, so early diagnosis is important to prevent spreading the infection. If your pet has persistent diarrhoea, you should seek veterinary care to prevent dehydration or other serious complications.
It is very simple – just use the enclosed cotton swab to obtain a faecal sample, mix it with the test solution and then add 3 drops to the test cassette. You will then be able to read the results after 10-15 minutes. A positive or negative result is indicated by 2 or only 1 line in the test window respectively.
The best time to test is during the shedding phase and/or when the symptoms appear. If tested outside this time period, you may get a false negative result.
The Giardia Antigen Rapid Test Kit for Cats & Dogs offers a fast, accurate, and convenient method for detecting Giardia infections, providing veterinarians and pet owners with valuable diagnostic information to guide treatment and manage the infection effectively.
