The Tashikin Feline GI Panel offers a rapid and highly sensitive solution for diagnosing common gastrointestinal infections in cats. This multiplex real-time PCR test simultaneously detects Feline Parvovirus, Feline Coronavirus, Giardia spp., and Tritrichomonas foetus, providing veterinarians with a comprehensive overview of potential pathogens causing diarrhea, vomiting, and other GI symptoms. Early and accurate identification is crucial for effective treatment and preventing disease spread in multi-cat environments.
Your Path to a Confident Diagnosis:
Investigate Acute GI Distress
Quickly identify viral and parasitic culprits in cats presenting with sudden onset diarrhea or vomiting.
Differentiate Co-infections
Uncover multiple pathogens simultaneously, informing targeted and comprehensive treatment strategies.
Monitor Treatment & Outbreaks
Track pathogen clearance post-treatment and aid in managing disease outbreaks in catteries or shelters.
