What it is:
cCRP is a blood test that shows whether there is active inflammation or infection in the body.
Why it is beneficial to breeders:
Helps detect inflammation or infection early, sometimes before obvious signs appear
Useful for monitoring recovery after whelping, illness, or surgery
Helps distinguish normal recovery from a developing problem
Supports timely veterinary care and treatment decisions
When breeders should use it:
After whelping, especially if recovery seems slower than expected
When a dam is lethargic, off feed, or not acting like herself
To monitor response to treatment or antibiotics
When reassurance is needed that healing is progressing normally
 
To summarize:
cCRP: A blood test that helps identify active inflammation or infection so issues can be addressed early.
