Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is tick-borne disease of worldwide distribution. The major causative agent is Ehrlichia canis , a gram negative, obligate intracelullar, pleomorphic bacterium of the genus Ehrlichia, which infects monocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes. This study aims to understand the diagnostic approach and therapeutic of CME in Pomeranian dog. The examination methods used were physical examination, complete blood count and blood chemistry, urynalisis, X-ray, and E. canis/anaplasma ab test kit. The result of physical examination found dehydration (CRT>2), bruises in the neck area, bleeding in the gums, dyspnoea, and thicks infestation. CBC, blood chemistry, and urynalisis test result showed anemia, severe thrombocytopenia, hypoproteinemia with hypoalbuminemia, and renal azotemia. The result of x-ray examination show the fluid aqumulation in thorax cavity. The result of E.canis/anaplasma ab test kit revealed positive result of E.canis. The dog was diagnosed with canine monocytic ehrlichisosis (CME). The dog was treated by antibiotic, hemostatic, and antiemetic.
