A two year old, intact female Great Dane was presented with the history of dysponea and anorexia for a period of six days. The dog was already treated in a private clinic. Based on the clinical, haematological, biochemical and peripheral blood smear examination, the case was diagnosed as canine babesiosis caused by Babesia gibsoni. Echocardiographic examination revealed both systolic and diastolic dysfunctions. The dog was treated with doxycycline, clindamycin and metronidazole. Histopatological examination revealed myocardial necrosis and haemorrhage.
