Plain-English summary
A 3-month-old Arab colt was found to have a clotting problem, meaning he had difficulty stopping bleeding due to low levels of certain blood proteins (Factors VIII, IX, and XI). This issue was not present in his parents or siblings, suggesting it was specific to him. Unfortunately, the abstract does not provide details on treatment or outcome, so it's unclear how the colt's condition was managed or if he recovered. If you notice similar symptoms in your horse, it's important to consult your veterinarian for further evaluation.
