Capillaria spp infection was diagnosed in a 3 year old dog with history of pollakiuria, dysuria and haematuria. Confirmatory diagnosis was done by demonstration of the parasitic ova in the urinary sediment, cystitis by ultrasonography, presence of proteins and leukocytes in the urine. Dog was successfully treated with fenbendazole and ivermectin along with supportive therapy. Recovery was noticed after 2 weeks of treatment with clear and transparent urine and absence of parasitic ova in urinary sediment.
