Abstract

A crossbred cow was presented with haemorrhagic diarrhoea and diagnosed as acute coccidiosis with E. zuernii demonstrated by faecal examination. Normal haematology along with elevated glucose and decline in calcium, phosphorous, total protein, albumin and globulin were observed. The animal was effectively treated with Amprolium along with supportive therapy.
