What this test checks

Benefits of this test

- Needs only a stool sample, so there is no blood draw from a sick kitten.
- Helps your vet decide quickly whether panleukopenia is likely and how to protect other cats at home.
- Can be combined with a blood count, which often shows very low white cells in this infection.
- Useful for shelters, cat rescuers and breeders who need to check a sick kitten fast.

About this test
Feline parvovirus causes feline panleukopenia, also called cat parvo. It is a serious infection that mostly affects kittens and cats that are not fully vaccinated. It can cause fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite and a sharp drop in white blood cells.
The kit looks for an antigen, which is a protein of the virus, in a small stool sample. The stool is mixed with a liquid and placed on a test device. Coloured lines show whether virus protein is present, usually within minutes.
This is the rapid antigen kit form of the test. Vets commonly choose it first for a sick kitten because it is quick and needs only stool, and they may add a blood count to look at the white cells.
How to prepare
No fasting is needed. Collect a fresh stool sample in a clean, closed container with as little litter as possible, and tell your vet if the cat was vaccinated recently. Book free sample collection anywhere in Bhopal, or, from other places, ask your vet to send the sample by courier or bus parcel.
Reading the result
A positive kit may indicate feline parvovirus infection, although a recent vaccination can sometimes cause a weak positive. A negative kit does not fully rule it out, so a registered veterinarian reads the result with the cat's signs, vaccination history and blood counts.

Before you book this test
Why this notice: so you know, before you book, how a test is done, what its limits are and who is responsible.
- Where it is tested. Some tests are done wholly or partly by an independent partner laboratory. The lab tells you before booking if this test is sent out, and the report names the laboratory that did it.
- What a result can and cannot tell you. No test is right every time. A normal result does not rule out every disease, and an abnormal result does not prove one. A registered veterinarian should read the report with the animal’s signs and history before any treatment is started, changed or stopped.
- The sample. A sample that is clotted, too small, wrongly labelled, leaking or too old may be rejected or reported with a note, and the lab may ask for a fresh one.
- Reporting time. Same day to 24 hours. Times are estimates, not guarantees, and the lab confirms the time when you book.
- Emergencies. A booking or a pending report must not delay urgent care. If an animal has collapsed, struggles to breathe, has fits or bleeds heavily, call a veterinarian at once.
