On clinical examination animal had high body temperature (40.1ºC), pale mucous membranes with petechiae and lymphadenopathy. Routine hematology showed anemia and examination of peripheral blood smear revealed the presence of piroplasms of Babesia gibsoni (+++). Triple therapy was initiated with Clindamycin @ 25mg/kg PO q 12h, Metronidazole @ 15mg/kg PO q 12h and Doxycycline @ 5mg/kg PO q 12h for 10days.
