Abstract
Cystitis is relatively uncommon in horses and represents a significant health concern that can severely impact their ability to urinate and overall well-being. Clinical signs often include frequent urination accompanied by blood in the urine and a painful sensation during urination. To establish a definitive diagnosis, a comprehensive examination is imperative, which typically involves physical assessment, ultrasonography, cystoscopy, and rectal examination. Treatment is aimed at relieving bladder distention and preventing potential complications. In this report, a case of a six-year-old late-term pregnant mare was presented at Veterinary Clinics, with a history of voiding blood in urine. Further diagnostic evaluation confirmed cystitis, and appropriate therapeutic measures were taken, resulting in a successful recovery for the mare without complications.
