The characteristic ellipsoidal shaped gamonts of Hepatozooncanis (H.canis) in the neutrophils of male Golden retriever dog of 4 month age was noticed. The dog was having history of vomiting and diarrhea since 1 day accompanying clinical signs of fever (108.5ºC), pale conjuctival mucous membrane, tensed abdomen with dull -depressed condition suggestive of gastroenteritis. Mild leukocytosis with neutrophilia, eosinopenia, thrombocytopenia was noticed however no abnormality in serum total protein, creatinine and alanine amino transferase was detected. There appears no published report of H. canis in down south Gujarat. Hence, this information could be helpful for further diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic care.
