A four and half year old Jersey crossbred cow was presented with emaciated body condition, foul smelling persistent watery diarrhoea, submandibular edema, moderate dehydration, rough hair coat and pale conjunctival mucous membrane. The fecal sample examination showed large, clear, dense, operculated eggs of Amphistome spp. Haematological examination revealed decreased haemoglobin, packed cell volume and total erythrocytic count. Serum biochemistry revealed low level of total protein and albumin. Abdominocentesis revealed diffused free flow of peritoneal fluid due to hypoprotenemia. The cow was treated with two doses of Oxyclozanide @ 18.7 mg per kg Bwt orally at two days interval and intravenous administration of amino acids @ 1ml per kg B.wt with supportive treatment. Uneventful recovery was observed two weeks after therapy.
