G., Severe fasciolosis in a suckler
beef cow, On J Vet Res 13 (1):126-129, 2009. A case of severe fasciolasis
in a suckler beef cow is described. The 4 years old
cow was admitted into clinics because of depression and reduced appetite for 10
days. The main clinical findings were fever, jaundice and reduced reticulorumen
contractions. The final diagnosis of fasciolosis was
based biochemical, haematological, and faecal parasitological examinations. The
cow was successfully treated with albendazole and
supportive therapy. The administration of albendazole
was suggested for the rest of the animals in the herd.
