Plain-English summary
This case talks about a pony that sadly died from poisoning caused by brodifacoum, a type of rat poison. This kind of poisoning hasn't been reported in ponies before, which makes it particularly concerning. The study discusses various factors in the pony's history and treatment that might have made the poisoning worse and contributed to its death. Overall, the outcome was tragic, as the pony did not survive.
