SUMMARY Haemobartonella canis was identified in the peripheral blood of a splenectomised dog with a regenerative anaemia. Treatment with tetracycline and prednisolone led to remission of the parasitaemia and increase in the packed cell volume. Mild parasitaemia was again observed when the dog was clinically normal.
