Summary Ulcerative colitis, protein losing enteropathy and intestinal histoplasmosis‐salmonellosis were diagnosed in a six‐year‐old Quarterhorse stallion. For six months before examination, the horse experienced a slow continual loss of weight. During the 17 day period of hospitalisation the horse developed progressive generalised oedema. On the 12th day of hospitalisation a severe profuse watery diarrhoea began; the horse was killed five days later.
