Persistent tymphany secondary to clinical amphistomosis in an adult cow

Abstract

A five years old cross bred Jersey cow was presented with the history of anorexia, distended abdomen, diarrhoea and reduction in milk yield. Rumen fluid examination revealed immature amphistomes. Haematological analysis revealed neutrophilia, reduction in PCV and TEC values. Biochemical analysis revealed reduction in albumin, calcium and magnesium levels. The case was affected with immature amphistomes and treated with oxyclozanide at recommended dosage, however succumbed to the disease due to persistent bloat.
