Short description
SaberVet Feline Heartworm Antigen Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of specific antigen from feline heartworm (FHW) in whole blood, serum or plasma sample. The test is useful for determination of FHW infection. It is recommended to use when your cat has symptoms such as hyperpalpitations, weak pulse, intermittency or heart murmur.

Product description - Parasitic life cycle
Transmission: cat heartworm is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito infected with filarial larvae. When a mosquito infected with filarial larvae bites a cat, the filarial larvae enter the cat's skin and then travel through the bloodstream to the heart and lungs to grow into adult worms.
Adult growth: the adult worms settle in the cat's heart and lungs and continue to grow, releasing tiny larvae called microfilariae, which enter the cat's blood circulation and wait for the next mosquito bite to transmit them.

Product description - Symptoms
Mild infection: mildly infected cats may have no obvious symptoms or may show mild coughing, shortness of breath, and occasional vomiting.
Severe infection: severely infected cats may show symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, weight loss, weakness, fainting, etc., which may even lead to death.
Complications: serious complications include heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, which may pose a serious threat to the cat's life.

Product description - Testing and diagnosis
Blood test: the rapid feline heartworm test can detect the presence of feline heartworm antigen in a cat's blood quickly and conveniently. X-ray examination can help determine the cat's heart and lung conditions, including the presence of dilated pulmonary arteries and lung inflammation.

Product description - Treatment and prevention
Antiparasitic drugs: for cats diagnosed with feline heartworm infection, veterinarians may recommend antiparasitic drugs to kill adult worms and microfilariae.
Preventive medication: preventive anti-parasitic medication can help prevent feline heartworm disease; regular dosing protects cats from infection.
Preventive controls: avoid letting cats out for long periods in areas where mosquitoes are active and reduce mosquito breeding sites to lower infection risk.
