Canine Anemia Panel (PCS005)

Canine Anemia Panel (PCS005) Babesia canis Babesia gibsoni Anaplasma platys Ehrlichia canis Ehrlichia/ Anaplasma spp. Mycoplasma haemocanis Borrelia burgdorferi Coomb’s test Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Babesia canis invades red blood cells causing lethargy, weakness, anorexia, fever, pale mucous membranes, and dark discoloration of the urine. Babesia gibsoni invades red blood cells causing dark urine, fever, weakness, pale mucous membranes, depression, an enlarged spleen, and thrombocytepenia. Anaplasma platys infects platelets causing thrombocytopenia. Infected dogs may develop bruising or bleeding (including nosebleeds), especially during the early stages of infection when platelet counts may be at their lowest. Ehrlichia canis infect monocytes and macrophages causing ever, swollen lymph nodes, respiratory distress, weight loss, bleeding disorders, polyarthritis, and occasionally, neurological disturbances. Mycoplasma haemocanis (formerly Haemobartonella canis) rarely causes anemia in dogs with normal spleens and normal immune systems. Dogs infected with Lyme disease may show symptoms of lameness, swollen lymph nodes, joint swelling, fatigue, and loss of appetite. The direct Coombs test is used to test for autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Canine Viral Panel (PCS004)

Canine Viral Panel (PCS004) Canine parvovirus Canine coronavirus Canine adenovirus Canine distemper virus Canine parainfluenza virus Specimen type Canine parainfluenza virus, Canine adenovirus: EDTA whole blood, Nasal swab、Nasopharyngeal swab, conjunctival swab. Canine parvovirus, Canine coronavirus : EDTA whole blood, feces Canine distemper virus: EDTA whole blood, Nasal swab、nasopharyngeal swab、conjunctival swab、urine Contents Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious and cause of acute, infectious GI illness in young and/or unvaccinated dogs. Dogs infected with parvovirus may show clinical signs of lethargy, anorexia, fever, vomiting and hemorrhagic small-bowel diarrhea. Most canine coronavirus infections are sub-clinical and produce few clinical signs in dogs. Occasionally an infection may cause more severe symptoms, particularly in young puppies. The most common signs include diarrhea, lethargy and decreased appetite. Canine distemper is a contagious and serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems of puppies and dogs. Clinical signs include fever, nasal discharge, coughing, lethargy, reduced appetite, and vomiting. Canine parainfluenza virus is a highly contagious respiratory virus and is one of the most common pathogens of infectious tracheobronchitis, also known as canine cough. Dogs infected with adenovirus may only show a decreased appetite, appear depressed, and have a mild fever. Some dogs develop opacity of one or both corneas of their eyes. Dogs may have respiratory signs, such as eye and nasal discharge and a cough.

Canine Zoonosis Panel (PCS003)

Canine Zoonosis Panel (PCS003) Borrelia burgdorferi Toxoplasma gondii Dirofilaria immitis Leptospira spp. Specimen type Borrelia burgdorferi Toxoplasma gondii Dirofilaria immitis EDTA whole blood Leptospira spp.: urine Contents Dogs infected with Lyme disease may show symptoms of lameness, swollen lymph nodes, joint swelling, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Toxoplasmosis usually causes no signs in healthy dogs. However, in puppies, the parasites may spread throughout the body. Signs of infection include fever, diarrhea, cough, difficulty breathing, jaundice, seizures, and death. Common signs of heartworm infection include coughing, exercise intolerance, failure to grow, labored breathing, a blue or purplish discoloration of the skin and gums, spitting up blood, fainting, nose bleeding, and the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Dogs affected by leptospirosis might show clinical signs that include lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, abdominal pain, and polyuria, oliguria, or anuria. Acute kidney injury has been the most common presentation in recent years.

Ehrlichia/Anaplasma Panel (PCS002)

Ehrlichia/Anaplasma Panel (PCS002) Ehrlichia spp. Ehrlichia canis Analasma platys Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Anaplasma platys infects platelets causing thrombocytopenia. Infected dogs may develop bruising or bleeding (including nosebleeds), especially during the early stages of infection when platelet counts may be at their lowest. Ehrlichia canis infect monocytes and macrophages causing ever, swollen lymph nodes, respiratory distress, weight loss, bleeding disorders, polyarthritis, and occasionally, neurological disturbances. Common clinical signs of ehrlichiosis include pale mucous membranes, due to anemia, epistaxis, petechiae, ecchymoses, prolonged bleeding during estrus, hematuria or melena associated with thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopathy, or vasculitis.

Canine Tick Panel (PCS001)

Canine Tick panel (PCS001) Babesia canis Babesia gibsoni Ehrlichia canis MycoplasmaHaemocanis Borreliaburgdorferi Anaplasma platys Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Babesia canis invades red blood cells causing lethargy weakness, anorexia, fever, pale mucous membranes,and dark discoloration of the urine. Babesia gibsoni invades red blood cells causing dark urine, fever, weakness, pale mucous membranes, depression, an enlarged spleen, and thrombocytepenia. Anaplasma platys infects platelets causing thrombocytopenia. Infected dogs may develop bruising or bleeding (including nosebleeds), especially during the early stages of infection when platelet counts may be at their lowest. Ehrlichia canis infect monocytes and macrophages causing ever, swollen lymph nodes, respiratory distress, weight loss, bleeding disorders, polyarthritis, and occasionally, neurological disturbances. Mycoplasma haemocanis (formerly Haemobartonella canis) rarely causes anemia in dogs with normal spleens and normal immune systems. Dogs infected with Lyme disease may show symptoms of lameness, swollen lymph nodes, joint swelling, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
