The Canine Parvovirus (CPV) Antigen Rapid Test Kit from GetTested is a reliable and easy-to-use self-test for the qualitative detection of canine parvovirus antigen in dog feces. This rapid diagnostic tool allows pet owners and veterinarians to quickly detect the presence of CPV, one of the most contagious and potentially fatal viral diseases in dogs.
Canine parvovirus primarily affects puppies and unvaccinated dogs, but can also infect adult animals. The virus spreads through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated surfaces and is known for its resilience in the environment, making early detection and isolation crucial for preventing outbreaks.
Common early symptoms of CPV infection are:
- Sudden loss of appetite
- Lethargy or unusual tiredness
- Fever
- depression
- Vomiting and severe, often bloody diarrhea (in more advanced stages)
