One two-year-old Indian local dog was presented with a history of low appetite, urinary incontinence, hind leg weakness for last 3 days. Upon physical inspection, notable findings included high rise of temperature (104.1°F), dehydration, pale mucous membranes, anuria, recumbency and severe debilitation. RBC count, Hb level were lowered. The animal showed high level of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and thrombocytopenia. Based on blood smear examination and haematology, the case was diagnosed as canine babesiosis with acute kidney injury. The case was successfully treated with combined therapy of Diminazene aceturate and Doxycycline supplemented with renal support.
