A Key Component of the Canine Diarrhea Panel
When Canine Parvovirus is ruled out, identify Canine Coronavirus as another common viral cause of enteritis, especially in puppies and kennel situations.

Canine Coronavirus (CCV) is a highly contagious viral pathogen that causes enteritis in dogs. While often resulting in mild, self-limiting diarrhea, it can be more severe in young puppies or when present as a co-infection with other pathogens like Canine Parvovirus. The Tashikin CCV Ag Rapid Test provides a quick and convenient way to detect the presence of viral antigen in feces, helping veterinarians to achieve a more complete diagnostic picture in cases of acute diarrhea.
Your Path to a Comprehensive Diarrhea Workup:
Test for Acute Diarrhea
Use as a frontline diagnostic for dogs, especially puppies, presenting with acute onset of diarrhea, lethargy, and anorexia.
Identify Co-Infections
Run in parallel with a CPV test to identify or rule out a dangerous co-infection, which can significantly worsen prognosis.
Manage Kennel Outbreaks
A valuable tool for rapidly screening dogs in a shelter or kennel environment to implement effective isolation and control measures.

Performance validated against reference methods like PCR, ensuring reliable detection of viral antigen in fecal samples.
Collect Fecal Sample
Collect a fresh fecal sample from the dog using the provided swab.
Prepare Sample
Insert the swab into the assay buffer tube. Mix vigorously to ensure the sample is well-dissolved in the buffer.
Apply Sample
Using the provided dropper, add 3-4 drops of the extracted fluid into the sample well (S) of the test cassette.
Read Results
Interpret the test results at 10 minutes. Do not read results after 15 minutes.
Track Enteric Pathogens to Manage Population Health
Effective management of a kennel or shelter requires a clear understanding of the pathogens present. Logging CCV Ag test results in VetEx.ai helps monitor the health of your population, identify trends, and maintain clear historical records for outbreak management and biosecurity protocols.
