Our Cat Worm Count Test uses laboratory microscopy to screen your cat’s faecal sample for gastrointestinal parasite eggs and relevant protozoa.
Trained laboratory staff examine the submitted sample using established faecal microscopy techniques. The screen includes the four listed feline ascarid and hookworm targets, tapeworm-type eggs and Cystoisospora spp. Nematode egg counts are measured where appropriate.
Gastrointestinal nematode results are reported as eggs per gram (EPG), including a below detectable limit result where the count is <20 EPG. The cestode and coccidial findings are reported qualitatively.
The laboratory report also includes a visual sample analysis recording other artefacts in the sample where relevant.
Our laboratory team reviews the findings before emailing the results. Free after test advice is available where required.
Our Cat Worm Count Test provides the following feline gastrointestinal parasite findings from faecal microscopy.
The feline worm count report covers the following gastrointestinal parasite targets.
The listed nematode findings are quantified as eggs per gram (EPG), where appropriate. A result of <20 EPG is recorded as Below detectable limit.
Cestode eggs and Cystoisospora spp. are reported qualitatively, including whether they were seen in the submitted sample.
Parasites may shed eggs, oocysts or larvae intermittently. Therefore, a result below the detectable limit, or a qualitative result of none seen, does not completely exclude infection.
Our trained laboratory team reviews the findings before emailing the result.
Clear laboratory reporting and free after test advice are included where required.
