Babesiagibsoni is the predominant species that causes canine babesiosis in Taipei Taiwan. It is a small pleomorphic intraerythrocytic parasite that can cause erythrocyte destruction and hemolytic anemia. Efficacy of oral administration of a doxycycline-enrofloxacin-metronidazole combination with and without injections of diminazene diaceturate in the management of naturally occurring canine babesiosis caused by B. gibsoni was evaluated retrospectively. The overall efficacy of this combination of doxycycline-enrofloxacin-metronidazole in conjunction with and without administration of diminazene diaceturate was and respectively with a mean recovery time of and days respectively. Concomitant use of intramuscular diminazene diaceturate may not improve the efficacy of a doxycycline-enrofloxacin-metronidazole combination in management of canine babesiosis caused by B. gibsoni. Findings Canine babesiosis is an important worldwide tick-borne disease caused by hemoprotozoan parasites of the genus Babesia and the predominant species infecting dogs is B. vogeli 1 . In a previous study B. gibsoni was found to be the major causative agent of canine babesiosis in Taipei Taiwan 2 . Babesia gibsoni is a small pleomorphic intra-erythrocytic parasite that can cause erythrocyte destruction and hemolytic anemia 1 . This parasite is suspected to be transmitted through the bite of ixodid ticks such as Rhipicephalus sanguineus 1 3-8 . Clinical signs of canine babesiosis are .
