Abstract

A Holstein Friesian cow was presented with weakness, anorexia, opthalmitis and lacrimal discharges. Clinical examination revealed high body temperature, anemia, gait in-coordination and salivation. Low hemoglobin content (6.9 gm%) was recorded and Trypanosoma evansi organisms were identified on blood smear examination. Treatment was given with single shot of Isometamidium chloride hydrochloride @ 0.5 mg/kg intramuscularly. The animal recovered successfully after therapy for four days along with antipyretic and fluid therapy.
