Keywords: Theileriosis, anemia, blood transfusion

In the present study, blood transfusions applied to two calves with Tropical Theileriosis are presented. After the clinical and hematological examinations were performed and diagnosis was made, buparvaquone and oxytetracycline were administrated to calves at 2.5 and 5 months old as chemotherapeutic treatment. It was decided to do blood transfusions to the calves due to severe anemia. Blood transfusions were done from their mothers to the calves in a volume of 1 and 1.5 liter, respectively after their bloods were determined as compatible by using cross-matching. Both calves recovered rapidly following the treatment. It was concluded that blood transfusion coupled with chemotherapeutics may be a successful clinical approach in treatment of cattle with Tropical Theileriosis with severe anemia and this treatment can be performed under field conditions.
