In this case report, clinical symptoms observed were anorexia, dullness, emaciated body, rough hair coat, pendulous and distended abdomen. The faecal sample was collected; examined microscopically for screening of internal parasites. The case was diagnosed as coccidiosis and animal was treated with Sulphaquinoxaline and Diaveridine for a week.
