Author ProfileAbstract
A mixed breed dog was treated for severe hemolytic anemia secondary to
Babesia canis infection. Within 14 hours of hospitalization, the dog
developed respiratory distress and hypoxemia. The patient improved with
lung-protective mechanical ventilation and neuromuscular blockade. The
dog survived to discharge and was reportedly healthy at three-month
follow up.17 May 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 18 May 2022Assigned to Editor
