Canine Ehrlichia Antibody Test – reliable test for tick-borne infections in dogs
The Canine Ehrlichia Antibody Test from The Tester is a quick and accurate home test that lets you easily determine if your dog has antibodies to Ehrlichia canis in the blood. This bacterium is transmitted by tick bites and can cause ehrlichiosis – a condition that can cause serious health problems without timely treatment.
What is Ehrlichia canis?
Ehrlichia canis is a bacterium transmitted by the brown dog tick. An infection mainly affects dogs’ white blood cells and can lead to symptoms such as fever, lethargy, anaemia, weight loss and in some cases bleeding problems. The disease can be either acute or chronic, making early detection essential to avoid serious complications.
How does the test work?
The Canine Ehrlichia Antibody Test detects the presence of antibodies in a small blood sample (obtained via a simple finger prick). Within 10 to 15 minutes, a clear visual result appears indicating whether your dog has been in contact with the bacteria and formed antibodies.
Benefits of the Canine Ehrlichia Antibody Test:
- Fast and reliable detection of Ehrlichia antibodies
- Easy to perform yourself at home
- Results within minutes
- Ideal when in doubt after a tick bite or signs of illness
- Suitable for dog owners, breeders and vets
When to use the test?
Use the test if your dog has recently been bitten by a tick or is showing symptoms such as fever, lethargy, weight loss, anaemia or reduced appetite. Regular testing can help monitor your dog’s health properly, especially during periods of high tick activity.
