A 6-year-old Jersey cow was presented with signs of respiratory distress and sternal recumbency at the Madras Veterinary College Outpatient Unit. Physical examination revealed congested mucous membrane, enlarged prescapular lymph node and severe dehydration. Musculo skeletal examination was done and the orthopaedic involvement was ruled out. Thrombocytopenia, decreased packed cell volume, and haemoglobin levels were noticed. Peripheral blood smear confirmed the presence of Trypanosoma evansi. The animal was treated with isometamidium chloride. The animal had uneventful recovery and was able to walk. Keywords: Jersey cow, Trypanosomiasis, Isometamidium chloride .
