Pet rapid testing refers to the use of specific technologies and equipment to detect and diagnose the health status of pets in a relatively short period of time. Its specific applications mainly include the following aspects:

Disease Diagnosis

• Infectious Disease Detection: Pets are prone to various infectious diseases in their daily lives, such as canine distemper, parvovirus, feline panleukopenia, etc. Rapid testing can be carried out in the early stages when pets show symptoms, helping veterinarians to make a timely diagnosis. For example, detection test strips using the colloidal gold immunochromatography technique can quickly detect whether there are corresponding pathogen antigens in samples such as the pet’s blood and feces, providing a basis for subsequent treatment.
• Parasite Detection: Parasite infections are common in pets, such as roundworms, tapeworms, coccidia, etc. Rapid detection methods, such as fecal smear microscopy or the use of rapid antigen detection reagents, can quickly determine whether a pet is infected with parasites and the type of parasite, so as to take targeted deworming measures.

Health Screening

• Blood Routine Detection: Rapid blood routine detection equipment can analyze various indicators in the pet’s blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, in a short time to understand whether the pet has problems such as anemia and inflammation. For example, some handheld blood routine detectors can give test results within a few minutes, helping veterinarians to initially assess the pet’s health status.
• Biochemical Detection: It is used to detect biochemical indicators in the pet’s blood, such as liver function, kidney function, blood sugar, and blood lipids, to determine whether the pet’s organ functions are normal. Rapid biochemical detection instruments can quickly provide these data, which is helpful for the early detection of potential chronic diseases in pets, such as liver and kidney diseases and diabetes.

Drug Monitoring

• Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: During the process of a pet receiving drug treatment, rapid testing can monitor the concentration of the drug in the body to ensure that the drug dosage is appropriate, achieving both the therapeutic effect and avoiding drug poisoning. For example, when using certain antibiotics or antiepileptic drugs, through regular rapid blood drug concentration detection, veterinarians can adjust the drug dosage to improve the safety and effectiveness of treatment.
• Drug Residue Detection: For pets that have consumed food that may contain drug residues or have received drug treatment, rapid testing can detect whether there are drug residues in their bodies to ensure the health of pets and food safety. For example, during the production of pet food, rapid drug residue detection is carried out on raw materials and finished products to prevent food with harmful drug residues from entering the market.

Reproduction-Related Detection

• Estrus Detection: By detecting the hormone levels in the pet’s body, such as estrogen and progesterone, it can quickly determine whether the pet is in estrus, helping pet owners and breeders to reasonably arrange the mating time and improve the success rate of reproduction. Some rapid hormone detection test strips or equipment can be conveniently used at home, providing convenience for pet breeding.
• Pregnancy Detection: After a pet is mated, rapid pregnancy detection methods can determine whether the pet is pregnant at an early stage, so as to provide appropriate care and nutrition for the pregnant pet in a timely manner. Common methods include ultrasound detection and blood detection. Ultrasound detection can observe the presence of an embryo in the early stage of the pet’s pregnancy, and blood detection can determine the pregnancy situation by detecting specific pregnancy-related hormones.
