Collection: Diarrhea & Vomiting: Find the Right Pet Test

My pet has diarrhea or vomiting. What should I test for?

Digestive symptoms can have many causes, from parasites and infections to diet changes and other medical conditions. Kedi Labs helps you choose the level of laboratory testing that fits the question you are trying to answer.

Choose your level of testing

Routine parasite screening: The Basic Fecal Parasite Screen (O&P) is a lower-cost starting point for common intestinal parasites.

Parasites + Giardia: The Basic Fecal Parasite Screen + Giardia ELISA adds targeted Giardia antigen testing.

Broader parasite testing: Parasite Detect PCR looks for a wider range of parasite DNA and is useful when deeper parasite detection is appropriate.

Broader infectious diarrhea testing: The species-specific Diarrhea PCR panels for cats and dogs screen for multiple bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens associated with diarrhea.

The Kedi process

Choose the test → collect at home → send the sample to Kedi → veterinary laboratory testing → receive results → share them with your veterinarian and decide what comes next.

When to seek veterinary care now: Severe or rapidly worsening diarrhea, repeated vomiting, marked lethargy, dehydration, significant blood loss, severe pain, or a very sick puppy or kitten should be evaluated promptly rather than waiting for a mail-in result.

Testing can help investigate infectious and parasitic causes, but it does not rule out every possible reason for vomiting or diarrhea.
