Abstract
An eight-year-old male Labrador with high fever was brought for treatment in the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, WBUAFS, Kolkata. Babesia gibsoni was identified in microscopical examination of the blood smear taken from the animal. The dog could not survive despite treatment and the post mortem examination revealed remarkable changes in the liver, lungs, kidneys and spleen. Histopathological examination showed congestion and edema in lungs, liver and spleen along with remarkable necrotic and degenerative changes in the tubular epithelial cell of kidneys.
