Original publication title: Guttural pouch mycosis in a 6-month-old filly.
Plain-English summary
A 6-month-old female horse, known as a filly, was brought in because she had a nosebleed on one side. After examining her and looking inside her throat with a special camera, the veterinarians found that she had a fungal infection in her guttural pouch, which is a part of her throat. It's noteworthy that she is quite young for this condition, and this was the second case of guttural pouch mycosis on the same farm.
Abstract
A 6-month-old filly was presented with unilateral epistaxis. Based on clinical signs, endoscopic examination, and postmortem examination, guttural pouch mycosis was diagnosed. The young age of the filly and the fact that this was the 2nd diagnosis of guttural pouch mycosis on this farm was unusual.
