Canine babesiosis is a complex disease which may cause dysfunction of more than one vital organs of body, known as multi organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). History and clinical examination of a six year old Labrador dog revealed high grade fever intermittently for7-8 days, anorexia, congested mucous membrane, increased pulse and respiration rates. Laboratory examination for haematobiochemical parameters revealed anaemia, eosinophilia, increased activity of hepatic enzymes, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Thin blood smear examination revealed Babesia gibsoni. The dog was diagnosed as suffering from B. gibsoni induced dysfunction of liver and kidney and successfully managed with combination therapy consisting of clindamycin, metronidazole and doxycycline for 21 days.
