Canine Distemper, Canine Small, Canine Crown, Veterinarians Teach You To Test At Home

If you have ever raised a dog, you must have heard of canine distemper, canine pygmy, and canine crown, which are the main culprits in the death of most puppies. But the good news is that if the treatment is timely, the cure rate of these three severe infectious diseases is still quite high, so novice dog owners often remind you that you must always keep some corresponding rapid detection test strips at home so that you can Rapid diagnosis or exclusion when the dog has abnormal performance, specific sampling steps and methods of use.

How to sample Mainly collect relatively concentrated parts of canine distemper virus, such as the eyes, nasal cavity, etc., and try to collect fresh secretions. The specific steps are as follows:

1. After wetting the cotton swab in the diluent, gently collect the secretions from the upper and lower eyelids of the dog, try to collect the viscous secretions that have just been secreted, and then put the cotton swab back into the diluent and stir;

2. Continue to collect the secretions in the dog's nasal cavity, put it back into the diluent and stir;

After the sampling step is completed in the detection step, insert the cotton swab into the diluent and stir well, let it stand for 1 minute, and wait for the large impurities to settle down, and then the rapid detection can be carried out:

1. Absorb an appropriate amount of the upper clear liquid with the matching straw;

2. Put one drop in the sample hole of the test strip, after 3 seconds, add another 2 to 3 drops;

3. Start timing when a line appears on the "C line" of the test strip. The general interpretation time is within 10 minutes, but if there is no line on the C line, a new test strip needs to be replaced.

How to interpret

If you've used a pregnancy test stick, it's relatively easy to interpret the canine distemper rapid test strip:

1. If there are lines on the C line and T line at the same time, which is the so-called "two bars", it means that the canine distemper is positive, and you need to seek medical attention immediately;

2. If there is a line on the C line, but there is no line on the T line, it means that the dog is not currently infected with the canine distemper virus.

The reason why the canine small and canine crown are put together is because their sampling sites and symptoms are very similar, and they are basically made into a "double detection board", that is to say, two infectious diseases can be detected at one time. , let's look at it in detail.

How to sample is also to collect the relatively concentrated parts of the virus, such as nasal congestion and anus:

1. After wetting the cotton swab in the diluent, collect the secretions in the dog's nasal cavity, put it into the diluent and stir;

2. Pull up the dog's tail, put the wet cotton swab into the anus 2 cm, gently rotate it and take it out, put it into the diluent and stir. The detection steps and interpretation methods are the same as the canine distemper test strips. If it is a dual detection board, it is necessary to see whether T1 and T2 correspond to canine small or canine crown.
