To test for feline panleukopenia (cat distemper) virus, use a panleukopenia test strip, which owners can buy from a proper veterinary clinic. The steps: use the sampler to collect a fresh stool sample from the cat, place the sampler in the dilution buffer and stir to mix, then use the dropper to draw a little of the mixture and add 3 to 4 drops into the sample well on the test card. Wait 5 to 10 minutes and read the result: if only the C line turns red it is negative; if both the C and T lines turn red it is positive.
