1.What does the FHV-FCV Combo test detect?
The test is designed for qualitative detection of FHV and FCV antigens in appropriate feline samples.
2.Why test FHV and FCV together?
Both pathogens are common causes of feline upper respiratory disease and can produce overlapping clinical signs, making combined screening useful in symptomatic cats.
3.What sample should be collected?
Ocular, nasal, or oral secretions may be used depending on the kit instructions. Follow the specified collection procedure for each assay.
4.Does a negative result exclude FHV or FCV infection?
No. Viral shedding and sample quality can influence detection. Persistent clinical suspicion may require additional diagnostic testing.
5.Can this test be used in multi-cat environments?
It can support professional evaluation in shelters, catteries, and other multi-cat settings where respiratory disease is present, with results interpreted alongside clinical and epidemiological information.
