Abstract: A seven year old bullock was presented to the Department of Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College, Bidar with the history of blood mixed watery diarrhoea, reduced feed and water intake and abdominal pain since three days. Clinical examination revealed dysentery, rectal temperature of around 104 ⁰F, pale Conjunctival mucus membrane, dehydration, tenesmus and colic signs. Faecal sample examination revealed characteristic Schistosoma indicum egg and haematological examination showed anaemia with eosinophilia. The infested bullock was treated with Closantel @10mg/kg BW along with other supportive medication. On 21^st day post treatment no eggs were traced upon faecal sample examination and haematological examination showed return of haematological parameters to normal range indicating uneventful recovery.
