Abstract
- The article focuses on a case of a 1.5-year-old Thoroughbred colt with persistently elevated liver enzymes, bile acids, icterus, and weight loss, which ultimately led to a diagnosis of hepatoblastoma. Topics include clinical signs and diagnostic challenges in young horses with liver disease, the role of liver enzyme elevations in diagnosis, and the poor prognosis for horses diagnosed with hepatoblastoma due to limited treatment options.
