This report describes the detection and effective management of Hepatozoon canis infection in a male dog for the first time from Himachal Pradesh. The anamnestic information of affected dog revealed anorexia, shivering, weakness, vomition, lethargy and un-responsiveness to antibiotic therapy. Clinical examination unveiled fever, pale mucous membranes, enlargement of prescapular lymph nodes and dullness. Clinical findings, hemato-biochemical parameters, parasitological and therapeutic management strategies were then evaluated. Important hematological outcomes consisted of anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis. Parasitological examinations revealed gamonts of H. canis within neutrophils in thin blood smears. The dog was successfully treated using combination drug therapy consisting of imidocarb dipropionate and doxycycline, which had proven therapeutic efficacy against hepatozoonosis.Keywords
