Fecal Gastrointestinal Bundle for Cats

Fecal Gastrointestinal Bundle for Cats

 

Comprehensive PCR, ELISA & 

Microscopic Examination

Complete gastrointestinal diagnostic panel designed to detect the 

most common infectious, parasitic, protozoal, bacterial, and viral 

causes of gastrointestinal disease in cats.

 

✔ Comprehensive evaluation from a single fecal sample

✔ Molecular (PCR/DNA), antigen (ELISA), and microscopic examination

✔ Supports rapid diagnosis and targeted treatment decisions

Why Order This Panel?

 

Feline gastrointestinal disease may involve multiple infectious 

and parasitic causes, and single-method testing may miss 

clinically relevant findings.

 

 This bundle is designed to:

✔ detect a broader range of enteric pathogens

✔ combine molecular, antigen, and microscopic methods

✔ improve diagnostic sensitivity

✔ support faster, more confident treatment decisions

✔ provide a more complete GI workup in one submission

When Should This Panel Be Ordered?

 

Consider this bundle when patients present with:

 

  • acute diarrhea
  • chronic or recurrent diarrhea
  • weight loss
  • poor body condition
  • suspected parasitic disease
  • suspected infectious enteritis
  • multi-cat or shelter exposure
  • prior negative testing with ongoing clinical suspicion

 

 

Clinical Advantage

 

By combining PCR, ELISA, and microscopy, this bundle increases overall 

diagnostic yield and reduces the limitations of single-method testing. 

It is especially useful in acute, chronic, recurrent, or diagnostically challenging 

diarrhea cases.

 

✔ broader detection in one submission

✔ improved sensitivity

✔ useful in chronic or recurrent GI cases

✔ supports targeted treatment planning
