Rapidly Detect a Core, Multi-Systemic Canine Pathogen
For young or unvaccinated dogs with respiratory, GI, or neurological signs, get a rapid in-clinic result to confirm or rule out Canine Distemper Virus, one of the most serious infectious threats.

Canine Distemper is a highly contagious, systemic viral disease that can lead to severe respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological signs. Due to its severity and high mortality rate, early diagnosis is critical for patient prognosis and for preventing outbreaks. The Tashikin CDV Ag Rapid Test detects viral antigen directly from secretions, indicating active shedding. This provides a fast, in-clinic result, allowing for immediate isolation, initiation of supportive care, and a clear prognosis for the owner.
Your Path to an Urgent Diagnosis:
Test Suspect Dogs
The essential first test for any young or unvaccinated dog with mucopurulent discharge, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, or neurological signs.
Confirm Active Infection
A positive antigen test confirms that the virus is actively replicating and being shed, providing a definitive diagnosis in the early stages of disease.
Initiate Isolation & Care
An immediate result allows for strict isolation protocols to be implemented at once, protecting other patients and guiding the intensive supportive care required.

Collect Secretions
Use the provided swab to collect a sample of the dog's conjunctival, nasal, or salivary secretions.
Prepare Sample
Insert the swab into the assay buffer tube. Agitate the swab vigorously in the buffer to ensure the sample is well-mixed.
Apply Sample
Using the provided dropper, add 3-4 drops of the extracted fluid from the buffer tube into the sample well (S) of the test cassette.
Read Results
Interpret the test results at 10 minutes. Do not read results after 15 minutes.
Track and Contain Devastating Outbreaks
In a shelter or breeding environment, a single case of Distemper can be catastrophic. Logging CDV Ag test results in VetEx.ai is crucial for managing outbreaks, tracking contacts, and implementing effective quarantine and sanitation protocols to save lives.
