Abstract:
Canine anaplasmosis is a tick-transmitted rickettsial disease caused by Anaplasma platys, usually detected as basophilic inclusions in the platelets of thrombocytopenic dogs. Here we describe a clinical case of A. platys infection in a dog evident from blood smear and haematological examination. The case was successfully treated with imidocarb and doxycycline, along with other supportive therapy.
