Description A four-year-old Spitz was brought to the clinic with a history of dullness and chronic emaciation. Pale mucous membranes, corneal opacity, hypothermia, irregular heart rate, bounding pulse and poor response to external stimuli were observed. Laboratory tests revealed anaemia, decreased serum albumin, and glucose levels. Trypanosoma evansi organisms were detected in blood smears and cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed an increased cell count, and reduced glucose levels. The dog was treated with diminazene aceturate but unfortunately died on the fifth day of therapy.
