A seven year old intact non-descript male dog was brought to the Madras Veterinary College Small Animal Unit with a history of reduced appetite, vomiting and voiding of dark yellowish urine for the past three days. On physical examination, he had pyrexia, icteric mucous membrane and enlarged lymph nodes. Haematobiochemistry analysis revealed anaemia with neutrophilia, elevated creatinine, direct and total bilirubin. He was diagnosed as Leptospira interrogans by using ELISA and the serovar was confirmed as Leptospira interrogans var. canicola using Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT). He had uneventful recovery after being treated with Doxycycline orally for 21 days along with supportive therapy.
