Feline Panleukopenia (also known as feline parvo) is a highly contagious viral disease that causes severe hemorrhagic gastroenteritis and profound panleukopenia, with a high mortality rate in unvaccinated cats. The Tashikin FPV Ag Rapid Test detects viral antigen shed in the feces, providing a fast and reliable diagnosis. Early confirmation is essential for initiating aggressive supportive care and implementing strict isolation protocols to prevent devastating outbreaks in clinics, shelters, and catteries.
Your Path to Life-Saving Intervention:
Test Suspect Kittens
The essential frontline test for any unvaccinated kitten or cat with acute onset of vomiting, diarrhea (especially bloody), and severe lethargy.
Confirm the Cause
Combine a positive antigen test with a low WBC count (panleukopenia) for a definitive, confident diagnosis.
Prevent Outbreaks
A rapid diagnosis allows for immediate isolation of the infected cat, protecting other vulnerable animals in your facility.

Performance validated against PCR, the gold-standard for viral detection, ensuring reliable results for critical decision-making.
Collect Fecal Sample
Collect a fresh fecal sample from the cat using the provided swab.
Prepare Sample
Insert the swab into the assay buffer tube. Mix the swab vigorously in the buffer to ensure the sample is well-extracted.
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. Weak positive results are still significant. Be aware of potential false positives for a short period post-vaccination.
Crucial for Shelter and Cattery Outbreak Management
In a high-density population, FPV can spread uncontrollably. Logging all FPV Ag test results in VetEx.ai is a critical step in outbreak management, helping you to track the spread, manage quarantine protocols, and make informed decisions about environmental decontamination and population health.
