Abstract
A 6 month old Labrador pup was presented to the Critical Care Unit of
Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with the history of anorexia,
vomiting and diarrhea for two days. Clinical examination revealed poor
hair coat, blanched mucous membranes and hemorrhagic diarrhoea.
Hematological and serum biochemical parameters showed severe anaemia,
leukocytosis and hypoproteinemia. Faecal floatation examination revealed
eggs of Ancylostoma caninum. The pup was stabilized with whole blood
transfusion, fluids, antibiotics, amino acid injections, hematinics and
treated with anthelminthic medications. The animal responded well to the
treatment.
