Abstract: The present study was carried out at Department of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College, Gadag, for the period of 1 year (January-2021 to April 2022). Total of101 dogs were presented with history of vomition, diarrhea, depression & dehydration to the Department of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College, Gadag during the study period. Out of 101 cases 57 cases were screened positive for Parvoviral infection by using “Anigen Rapid” CPV Ag test kits. Out of these 57 cases 14 cases were selected for the hemato-biochemical study. The pups below the age of 6 months were highly susceptible compare to the adult ones and the more number of cases reported were of Labrador breed. The case susceptibility was comparatively more in male dogs than female ones and the highest incidence was recorded in post monsoon season (October-December). Reduced HB, PCV, Leukocytopemia, lymphocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, neutrophilia and elevated levels of ALP and ALT enzymes were observed in the CPV infected cases.
