Herpes/Calicivirus Combo Test for Cats is a fast and reliable test used to identify two of the most common causes of respiratory infections in cats: Feline Herpesvirus (FHV-1) and Feline Calicivirus (FCV). These viruses are highly contagious and spread through direct contact, sneezing, and contaminated surfaces.
Symptoms of herpesvirus and calicivirus infections:
- Herpesvirus (FHV-1): Sneezing, eye and nasal discharge, fever, reduced appetite, and corneal ulcers.
- Calicivirus (FCV): Sneezing, mouth ulcers, fever, lameness, and sometimes pneumonia.
Both viruses may lead to chronic infections and recurring symptoms, especially in cats with weakened immune systems.
Benefits of the combo test:
✅ Detects both FHV-1 and FCV simultaneously
✅ Fast and easy sample collection
✅ Reliable results for early diagnosis and infection tracking
This test is a valuable tool for veterinarians and breeders to quickly identify infected cats and take appropriate measures to limit the spread of infection.
