If your pet skips a meal or two, that alone is not a problem. But if they haven’t eaten for more than 24 hours – which is especially serious in cats, as it can lead to liver damage – or other symptoms appear as well, it’s worth ruling out an infectious pathogen.

In cats, loss of appetite together with fever and a bloated belly can raise the suspicion of FIP; together with weight loss and recurring infections, FIV or FeLV may be behind it. In dogs, combined with diarrhoea, parvovirus is the most urgent possibility.

Not sure which test you need?

If you're unsure, start from the symptom. Below you'll find everything you need to choose and use the right test.

How accurate is the at-home rapid test?

It uses the same immunochromatographic technology as the tests used in veterinary practices. Compared with PCR, the parvovirus test shows 98.33% agreement: sensitivity 98.00%, specificity 98.67%, n=300.

Does it replace a veterinary examination?

No. The rapid test is a pre-screening tool: it gives you a quick picture to take to the vet. If the result is positive, always see a vet and take the test cassette with you.

What does it mean if the result is negative but the symptoms persist?

Virus and cyst shedding can be intermittent, so a single negative result does not rule everything out. Repeat the test within 2–3 days or see a vet.

How should the tests be stored?

Between 4 and 30 °C, in a dry place, away from light, in the unopened foil pouch. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Run the test itself at a room temperature of 15–30 °C.
