Blood samples of 32 diarrhoeic calves suffering from colibacillosis were collected at 0,48, 96 and 144 hr following institution of therapy. Mean PCV values (pre-treatment) were significantly higher (46.28+1.71;) as compared to healthy control calves (32.14+2.53;). Following therapy,there was a gradual and significant decline in the PCV values by 48 hr (41.90+1.44;). Mean albumin levels in untreated calves were significantly higher (3.42+0.10 g/dl) than the healthy coantrol group (3.05+0.15 g/dl) which significantly declined (3.01+0.09 g/dl) at 48 hr post-treatment. Plasma sodium was higher in the untreated group as compared to control group. A significant increase in mean plasma postassium level was seen 96 hr post-treatment. Thus colibacillosis results in significant haemoconcentration and PCV estimation was most sensitive indicator for assessing dehydration.
