Abstract

Three buffaloes were presented with anorexia, reduced water intake, salivation and swelling in neck region since last three days. Clinical examination revealed dullness, nasal discharge, restlessness, profuse salivation, rapid respiration, swelling in brisket region and congested ocular mucus membrane. Blood smears examination revealed presence of Koch's blue bodies and bipolar organisms confirming concurrent theileriosis and hemorrhagic septicemia. The animals were treated with Diminazene aceturate, single dose and Oxytetracycline intravenous twice daily for five days. Iron and liver tonics along with anti-inflammatories were given as supportive therapy. After five days animals recovered clinically.
