The Tashikin Crypto Ag Rapid Test is a vital tool for the diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis in cats and dogs, a common cause of debilitating diarrhea, particularly in young, old, or immunocompromised animals. This easy-to-use fecal test provides a reliable result in minutes, allowing veterinarians to differentiate protozoal infections from other causes of gastroenteritis and to advise owners on appropriate treatment and the zoonotic potential of the parasite.
Your Path to a Targeted Diagnosis:
Test for Persistent Diarrhea
Use as a primary diagnostic for any animal, especially kittens and puppies, with watery, unresolved diarrhea.
Screen At-Risk Populations
Ideal for screening animals in high-density environments like shelters, catteries, and kennels where Crypto can easily spread.
Confirm & Counsel on Risk
A positive result confirms the diagnosis and allows for crucial client education regarding environmental decontamination and zoonotic risk.
