Size:1 Test Canine coronavirus (CCoV) and feline coronavirus (FCoV) both belong to the same virus family and occur worldwide. The infections tend to be transmitted orally. Coronaviruses demonstrate high mutation rates, which fosters new variants. Many infections cause only mild intestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea. Severe infections, primarily in puppies, kittens and other young animals, include apathy and anorexia, diarrhoea, dehydration, fever and, more rarely, heavily bloodied diarrhoea and even death. The development of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease caused by coronaviruses that only affects cats. Clinical symptoms include anorexia and emaciation, accumulation of fluid within the abdomen or chest as well as an intermittent, treatment-resistant fever. The test is suitable for the early detection of suspected infection with coronavirus or in the case of clinical symptoms. As the excretion of coronavirus can be intermittent, repeated testing is recommended.   If in doubt, make an appointment with your vet immediately. If the rapid test shows a positive result, please take the test and faecal sample with you to the vet.
