Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis is a significant tick-borne disease worldwide that can present with a wide range of clinical signs, from acute fever to chronic, severe pancytopenia. The Tashikin EHR Ab Rapid Test detects antibodies to E. canis, providing a clear indication of a dog's exposure to the pathogen. A positive result, combined with clinical signs, is a powerful tool for achieving a diagnosis and initiating life-saving doxycycline therapy.
Your Path to a Confident Diagnosis:
Screen At-Risk Dogs
Incorporate into annual wellness exams, especially for dogs with a history of tick exposure or those living in endemic areas.
Investigate Clinical Signs
Use as a key diagnostic for dogs presenting with fever, lethargy, lymphadenopathy, bleeding tendencies, or cytopenias.
Confirm Exposure
A rapid, positive result confirms the dog has mounted an immune response to Ehrlichia, supporting your clinical diagnosis.
