Extended Information

The reliable, cost-effective SNAP Giardia Test dramatically improves the results of your workups on symptomatic GI patients. It catches those missed Giardia-positive animals up to three times as often as traditional methods. SNAP Giardia Test Kit is a rapid enzyme immunoassay for detection of Giardia antigen in canine and feline feces. The presence of this antigen in fecal samples indicates the animal has ingested Giardia cysts, may be actively infected, and may be shedding cysts in feces. Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia, and infections are particularly dangerous for immuno-compromised animals.
