Blood transfusion is a crucial medical intervention used to address anemia, effectively restoring essential red blood cell levels. A nine-year-old male Rottweiler was presented at the Veterinary Clinical Complex, CVSc., Rajendranagar, with a history of severe tick infestation, decreased water intake, and lethargy lasting for six days. A physical examination revealed enlarged lymph nodes, anemic signs and severe dehydration. Haematological analysis showed anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Lateral flow assay revealed positive for E. canis. Blood transfusion was performed along with supportive therapy. The dog was also administered oral Doxycycline @10 mg/Kg for two weeks. The combination of blood transfusion and subsequent treatments significantly contributed to the dog's recovery.
