The Core Viral Panel for Feline Respiratory and Enteric Disease
Efficiently screen for four of the most common viral pathogens in cats. This panel is the ideal frontline tool for diagnosing sick kittens, shelter intakes, and cats from multi-cat environments.
4 Key Viruses
Respiratory Panel
Enteric Panel
Kit Size
The Tashikin Feline 4-Way Viral Panel is a powerful tool for navigating complex cases of infectious disease in cats. It simultaneously detects the two core feline upper respiratory viruses (Calicivirus, Herpesvirus-1) and two of the most significant enteric viruses (Coronavirus, Panleukopenia). This makes it an indispensable, cost-effective screening test for shelter medicine, catteries, and for any kitten or adult cat presenting with a mix of clinical signs, allowing for rapid diagnosis and implementation of appropriate quarantine and treatment protocols.
Your Path to Efficient Population Management:
Screen Shelter Intakes
Get a rapid, comprehensive viral baseline on all new arrivals to prevent outbreaks and guide housing decisions.
Diagnose Sick Kittens
The ideal test for kittens presenting with the common 'sick kitten' syndrome of upper respiratory signs and/or diarrhea.
Investigate Fever of Unknown Origin
Use as a key part of the workup for febrile cats to quickly rule in or rule out these four common viral pathogens.

Individual analyte performance validated against PCR reference methods for reliable and accurate pathogen detection.
Collect Both Samples
Using separate swabs, collect a conjunctival/nasal sample for the respiratory panel and a fecal sample for the enteric panel.
Prepare Extracts
Process each swab in its own, separate assay buffer tube. Mix each tube vigorously to create two distinct sample extracts.
Apply Extracts to Cassette
Apply the conjunctival extract to the FCV/FHV-1 sample well and the fecal extract to the FCoV/FPV sample well.
Read Results
Interpret the results for all four analytes at 10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 15 minutes.
Prevent Outbreaks with Data-Driven Insights
In a shelter or cattery, data is your best defense. Logging the results of your 4-way panels in VetEx.ai helps you visualize infection trends, identify specific pathogen hotspots within your facility, and make informed decisions about cleaning protocols and vaccination strategies to protect the entire population.
