Plain-English summary
A horse was brought in after experiencing coughing, weight loss, and limping for six months. Unfortunately, the diagnosis revealed a serious fungal infection called coccidioidal osteomyelitis, which led to the difficult decision to euthanize the horse. The condition was confirmed through both physical examination and laboratory tests.
