Feline Upper Respiratory Disease
Test for the causative agents of feline URD with real-time PCR

Zero in on the origins of feline URD

Cats presenting with signs of feline URD—sneezing, oculonasal discharge, conjunctivitis with or without oral ulceration—are probably common in your practice. But until now, there have been no quick, accurate and affordable tests that could determine the causative agents.

Running the new, quick and easy IDEXX RealPCR™ Feline URD Panel dramatically increases your chance of accurately identifying the origins of feline URD.

In a recent comparison, practices that ordered the feline URD panel received:

  • Positives for one or more of the five organisms
    52% of the time
  • Positives for FHV-1 30% of the time

Compared to practices that ordered only the FHV-1
stand-alone test, which received:

  • Positives for FHV-1 just 9% of the time

The results from running this single-panel, real-time PCR test enable you to quickly take the next steps:

  • Choose the appropriate treatment
  • Quarantine animals as needed
  • Improve patient outcome
