| Abstract;The efficacy of intramuscular clindamycin administration was evaluated at a dose of 50mg/kg b.w. b.i.d. for seven days in combination with a hepatic therapy, against severe cases infected with Babesia gibsoni. In the treated group, anemia and parasitemia were improved compaved with those in the control group. In addition, side effects such as damage at the injection site and clinical abnormality were not observed in the treated group. Based on these findings, we conclude that this treatment is useful for severe canine babesiosis cases. (author abst.) |
