Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 represents a new generation diagnostic tool that covers the needs of modern veterinarians, offering great added value in terms of timeliness, safety and ease of execution. With this test, it is possible to significantly contribute to animal welfare, intervening in a targeted and rapid manner according to the needs encountered.
Therapeutic Indications
The Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 is indicated for the rapid diagnosis of five infectious diseases of major relevance in veterinary clinical practice, such as parvovirus, coronavirus, giardiasis, leptospirosis and anaplasmosis in dogs. The test offers the possibility of identifying infections early even in the absence of obvious symptoms, thus facilitating the monitoring of animals at risk, the timely identification of sick subjects and the effective management of any epidemics within structures or farms. The test is recommended in the case of suspicion of intestinal pathologies of viral or bacterial origin, in the onset of acute diarrhoea, vomiting, apathy or non-specific symptoms linked to infections caused by the pathogens sought by the kit.
The use of Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 allows not only an immediate diagnostic approach, but also essential support in therapeutic decisions, optimizing the use of targeted treatments and the choice of antibiotics or vaccination protocols. The test represents a precious resource for screening campaigns, preventive visits or when new animals enter communities (kennels, boarding schools, farms), limiting the spread of pathogens and promoting good veterinary practices in the management of public animal health.
Furthermore, the regular use of the Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 can play a key role in the control of infections in immunocompromised subjects, puppies and elderly animals, helping the veterinarian to plan targeted and personalized health interventions. Thanks to the speed of execution, it can also be used during emergency visits, supporting immediate therapeutic decisions in critically ill patients.
Composition
The Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 is composed of a series of test strips integrated in a disposable test cassette which guarantees maximum hygiene and safety throughout the procedure. Each kit contains the essential components for the correct execution of the test: sterile swabs for the collection of biological samples (feces, blood, saliva according to specific pathology), graduated pipettes for the precise dosage of the sample to be applied on the strip, extraction solution designed to ensure perfect release of the antigens or antibodies sought, reactive buffer and multi-site reactive strips. The detection system uses latest generation immunochromatographic methods, capable of identifying the presence of specific antigens of the five target pathogens.
The chemical composition of the strips and buffer is designed to avoid cross-reaction phenomena, ensuring the selectivity of the test and clarity in the interpretation of the result. All materials used are certified for veterinary use and free of sensitizing or toxic agents for the operator and the animal. Even the packaging, made of sealed material, ensures maximum freshness and avoids accidental contamination that could alter the reliability of the test. The packaging also includes an illustrated guide with step-by-step instructions and a set of disposable gloves for a totally safe procedure from a hygienic-sanitary point of view.
Contraindications
Although Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 is generally well tolerated and safe for both animals and operators, there are situations in which the use of the product is contraindicated. Do not use the kit in case of evident deterioration of the components, expiry date exceeded or packaging not sealed. The use of samples collected improperly, contaminated or stored inadequately can compromise the reliability of the result, canceling the diagnostic benefits of the test. In particularly agitated or aggressive dogs, the sample must be taken with all precautions to avoid trauma or accidents to the animal or the operator.
Avoid using the test in subjects being treated with antiviral drugs, antibiotics or immunosuppressants unless an adequate amount of time has passed as false negatives or unreliable results could occur due to the reduced antigenic load present in the sample. It is not suitable for self-diagnosis or for use outside the professional veterinary context. In the presence of serious systemic pathologies, shock or marked dehydration, consult your veterinarian before proceeding with the test.
Safety of the drug for the species
The Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 has been tested to guarantee high safety standards for the canine species, both in terms of composition of the materials and in terms of potential reaction in contact with skin or mucous membranes. The test is free of toxic or sensitizing substances, ensuring maximum tolerance even in sensitive or allergy-prone animals. Safety of use is also ensured by disposable plastic devices, which prevent cross-transmission of any infections between patients. Adverse reactions are extremely rare, and no cases of serious allergic reactions or adverse events resulting from contact with the test components have been reported, not even in predisposed subjects.
In case of accidental ingestion of a part of the kit (for example a test strip), it is still recommended to promptly consult the veterinarian to evaluate any mechanical or toxic risks, although the materials used are biologically inert. Use by scrupulously following the attached instructions minimizes any risk to the health of the tested animal. Do not handle the product with dirty or contaminated hands to avoid compromising the reliability of the test and to maintain high biosafety standards required in modern veterinary practice.
Precautions
During all phases of handling and execution of the Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 it is recommended to wear disposable gloves and to work in a clean environment free from obvious sources of contamination. Do not touch the test strips directly with your fingers. Each used component must be disposed of according to current regulations relating to medical waste. After use, carefully dispose of gloves, swabs and test strips in suitable containers. Avoid storing the kit in humid environments, at extreme temperatures or in direct contact with intense sunlight, so as not to alter the chemical reactivities of the strips.
Wash your hands thoroughly after each operation. In the presence of samples heavily contaminated by feces or blood, the sampling must be carried out with the utmost care and quickly processed to avoid altered results. Do not use the product if the packaging is damaged or if the components appear visibly altered in shape or color. In case of doubt regarding the interpretation of the result, carry out confirmatory checks with alternative methods.
Method of administration
Performing the Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 is extremely simple. After having collected the prescribed biological sample (stool, blood or saliva depending on the pathogen to be diagnosed), use the graduated pipette supplied to precisely dose the sample and deposit it in the appropriate well on the test strip. Add the buffer solution according to the instructions provided and wait the indicated time for the chromatographic reaction to develop (normally between 5 and 10 minutes). The result is read visually through the coloring of the control and test lines: the presence of a colored line in the corresponding area indicates positivity for the specific pathogen.
It is recommended not to interpret the result after the suggested time limit, to avoid errors due to evaporation phenomena or excessive color development. It is important to carefully follow each step reported on the information leaflet, which also reproduces visual examples of interpretation. The test must be administered by adequately trained personnel.
Treatment program
The Vettys Pro Test Vax 5 is not a medicine but a diagnostic tool: it therefore does not provide a specific treatment program, but a frequency of use that varies according to the infectious risk present in the facility or in the individual animal. In kennels and breeding farms, it can be included as a periodic monthly or quarterly check, especially during the phases of welcoming new subjects. In the veterinary clinic it can be used when necessary, in the presence of symptoms compatible with one of the five pathologies sought, or as screening in puppies during the first visits. However, it is advisable to follow the veterinarian's instructions on the most appropriate timing for each patient based on age, immune status and environmental context.
Targeted and preventative use can significantly contribute to reducing the spread of pathogens in collective facilities, representing a valuable tool in the management of infectious diseases in dogs.
