Sixteen unvaccinated dogs of various breeds, aged between two to six months old were selected for this study. They had a common history of pyrexia, anorexia, vomiting and foul smelling bloody diarrhoea. Clinical examination revealed marked dehydration, tachycardia, weak pulse, congested visible mucous membranes and sunken eyeballs. Faecal samples were collected for snap test (faecal antigen test). Blood samples were collected for complete blood profile and serum biochemistry at day 1, day 5 and day 10. Based on the history, clinical signs and laboratory report, the cases confirmed as Canine Parvo Viral Enteritis (CPVE). The confirmed dogs were divided into two groups. Group 1(n=8) dogs were treated with standard treatment protocol. Group 2 (n=8) dogs were treated with standard protocol along with homeopathy drugs. Group 2 dogs recovered earlier when compared to Group 1 dogs. Haematology, serum biochemistry, treatment protocol and prognosis were discussed in detail.
