Haemato-biochemical findings in case of trypanosomiosis in dog

摘要

Trypanosomiosis is one of the important haemoprotozoan diseases, which causes severe illness in dogs (Mahamoud and Gray, 1980). Advance cases show variety of symptoms which makes differential diagnosis difficult. The present clinical case reports haemato-biochemical findings in dog suffering from trypanosomiosis. A non-descript male dog aged about one year and weighing 15 kg was brought to the small animal clinic, Madras Veterinary College with the history of bilateral corneal opacity. On clinical examination, rectal temperature was found 104°F. Bilateral corneal opacity with epiphora and pallor of mucous membrane were also seen. Examination of heart, lungs and pulse did not reveal any specific abnormality.
