Many novice poop scoopers have fallen into this pitfall. The newly bought puppy started to be active and active, but within a week it showed various symptoms of disease...

This kind of dog is called "Week Dogs" actually suffer from some diseases when they are purchased, but they are in the incubation period, or they are injected with serum/monoclonal antibodies, so the symptoms are masked. The most common viruses carried by "weekly dogs" are canine parvovirus, canine distemper and canine coronavirus.

You must know that these three diseases are all caused by viruses, and they are all highly contagious and very dangerous for dogs! Because the symptoms are slightly similar, it is difficult for many parents to identify which disease their dogs are infected with. Some novice parents, due to lack of experience, think that their dogs just have a cold or enteritis, thus delaying the best opportunity for treatment.

How can we avoid buying a "weekly dog"? How can we detect dog diseases in time and treat them early?

The same test reagents used in theaters

Easy to use at home

A test for three major viruses The commonly used method for testing is the corresponding antigen reagent test (hospitals generally use this method for testing and diagnosis), and the operation method is simple and does not require blood drawing. Parents can complete it at home.

Test

Rapid testing does not delay treatment

No need to go to the hospital to save money

At-home testing can not only avoid the high examination fees of the hospital, but also save money. The sooner the virus can be identified without delaying subsequent symptomatic treatment, the more likely it is that the dog will survive this deadly virus.
