Speed Trio FeLV/FIV/Corona is a rapid test to help vet-practitioners to narrow diagnosis in front of unspecific but suggestive symptoms of retrovirosis and/or coronavirosis and to select further clinical examinations. In multi-cat environments, the determination of the status of new arrivals can be used to prevent healhy cats from being exposed to the virus. Speed FeLV/FIV/Corona is recommended for the monitoring of cats which leave in high risk environments. |
