Plain-English summary
A young Arabian foal with a heart condition sadly died from bleeding caused by a large stomach ulcer. In the past, foals with stomach ulcers have often died from infections after the ulcer created a hole in the stomach. However, in this case, the foal's death was specifically due to the bleeding from the ulcer.
