Abstract:
A 10-year-old crossbred dairy cow was found to be positive for Theileria spp. and Anaplasma spp. on blood smear examination. Anaemia and a low haematocrit value advocating whole blood transfusion were the findings of complete blood count. Hence, a whole blood transfusion was administered to the cow. The animal was treated for theileriosis and anaplasmosis as per the standard therapeutic protocol. The cow recovered completely and is still in production. Further details are discussed.
