The Feline Herpes Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit from GetTested is a self-test for the qualitative detection of feline herpes virus (FHV) antigens in the eye and nasal secretions of cats. FHV is one of the most common causes of upper respiratory tract infections in cats and often leads to symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, nasal discharge, and fever. This test enables early diagnosis and timely intervention, preventing the spread of the infection and supporting your cat's health.

The test uses colloidal gold immunochromatography, a proven and accurate method that provides clear results within minutes. By analyzing a sample from the cat's eyes or nose, the test detects the presence of FHV antigens, indicating an active infection.

This test is ideal for pet owners and veterinary clinics seeking a rapid and efficient screening tool when FHV infection is suspected. It is particularly valuable in multi-cat environments, such as animal shelters, kennels, and veterinary practices, where infections can spread rapidly.
