A 2-year-old female Highland pony was presented recumbent in a field. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis, neutrophilia, hypocalcemia, elevated levels of urea, triglycerides, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, AST, and creatine kinase over 320,000 U/L. Differentials included various types of myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, liver disease, and decreased renal function. The clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities were consistent with atypical myopathy, possibly linked to ingestion of Sycamore seeds, which can cause acute rhabdomyolysis in young horses with high mortality. Intensive therapy was required.
