Abstract

A seventeen-month-old tom cat was presented to the hospital with the history of pyrexia, unable to stand with forelimbs and abnormal mentation. Trypanosoma evansi organisms were detected in the stained peripheral blood smears collected from the cat. The cat had anemia, hypoglycemia and hypoalbuminemia. The cat was successfully treated with injection diminazene aceturate along with other supportive medication and uneventfully recovery was noticed by the sixth day in his activities.
