Results in 10 minutes: The GIA home test detects Giardia, small intestinal parasites in cats and dogs. These highly contagious parasites impair digestion by forming resistant cysts and can lead to intestinal inflammation if untreated. The rapid test delivers reliable results without much effort. In households with children, older people, or immune deficiencies, a Giardia rapid test is essential. Quick detection allows for immediate action, appropriate therapy, and assurance that your pet is doing well.
Application:
The Giardia Antigen Rapid Test is an immunochromatographic lateral flow test for the qualitative detection of Giardia antigen (Giardia Ag) in dog or cat feces or vomit samples.
Here's how you apply the rapid test: Take fresh dog or cat feces or vomit with the cotton swab from the dog's or cat's anus or from the ground. Insert the cotton swab into the filled buffer tube, close it and shake well. Take the sample extract from the buffer tube with a pipette and drop 3 drops into the opening of the test cassette. After 10 minutes, you can interpret the test.
In case of a positive result: Free consultation with Dr. SAM's veterinarians in the vet chat about the next steps. If a pet is affected by giardia, it is recommended to test all pets in the household for infections in order to tailor the therapy according to the symptoms and test results.
