Corneal opacity, Diminazine aceturate, TrypanosomiasisAbstract
Two year old male mongrel dog was brought to the Teaching Veterinary Clinic at College of Veterinary Sciences and A.H., Jalukie, Nagaland, India, having markedly pale mucous membrane, corneal opacity and inaapetance. On the basis of the history and clinical signs, a tentative diagnosis of canine trypanosomosis was made followed by its confirmation with Giemsa stained blood smear examination. The animal was successfully treated with single dose of diminazene aceturate at the dose rate of 3.5 mg/kg body weight, intramuscularly along with the supportive therapy.
