Canine anaplasmosis is a common and clinically important tick-borne disease that can cause a range of signs from subclinical infection to acute fever, polyarthritis, and life-threatening thrombocytopenia. The Tashikin Anaplasma Ab Rapid Test is a sensitive and specific tool for detecting antibodies, indicating a dog's exposure to the pathogen. It is an essential component of any comprehensive vector-borne disease screening program.
Your Path to Comprehensive Screening:
Perform Annual Screening
Incorporate into routine wellness testing alongside Heartworm, Ehrlichia, and Lyme for a complete tick-borne disease profile.
Diagnose Sick Patients
A crucial test for any dog presenting with fever, lethargy, lameness, or thrombocytopenia, especially during tick season.
Guide Further Action
A positive antibody result, combined with clinical signs, supports a diagnosis and the decision to initiate antibiotic therapy and monitor platelet counts.
