Abstract
An 8-month-old foal in Brazil presented with fever, colic, diarrhea, hypoproteinemia (especially hypoalbuminemia), leukocytosis, and hyperfibrinogenemia and became lethargic and anorexic with a poor body score. A diagnosis of Lawsonia intracellularis proliferative enteropathy was confirmed by fecal polymerase chain reaction and serologic testing, and the foal was successfully treated with oxytetracycline followed by azithromycin.
